sweet potatoes! It's that time of year when I just can't seem to get enough of them. I think my favorite thing is probably just a simple baked sweet potato with blue cheese, bacon, a few candied pecans, and some chives. I could probably eat that on a daily basis. But today, I wanted to combine sweet potatoes with something else that is inevitably on my mind this time of year - PIE!
It's true, once the leaves begin to change colors, and that nip is in the air, the Thanksgiving-menu-gears of my mind start clanking to life. It's my favorite meal of the year, and I start the planning early. It's time for me to begin testing pies and side dishes; time to start gathering magazines and books. It makes me happy.
