Super Easy Sweet Potato Casserole With Pecan Brulee Topping
I love sweet potatoes- well, more accurately yams *. Love. Love Love. So when I had this sweet potato casserole at a fancy-shmancy restaurant in Las Vegas I took notes.

Without going into a lot of detail about the story, acorns play a pivotal role in supplying energy and new life into some of the characters.

(Sigh) So amazing! Continue Reading
