Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I thought I would share this recipe with you. It was my grandmothers. Everyone called her Chris. She was known far and wide for her cooking. She ran a boarding house for the railroad men to make ends meet after my grandfather died. Anyway the combination of flavors here is wonderful. This is an easy recipe and tastes like you spent a lot more time than you did. I hope you will make this a family favorite.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful!!! I love the combination of sweet potatoes and baked apples. Every year at my office a co-worker brings in something simular. His also includes mini marshmellows. It's very good but almost ~too~ sweet. This recipes sounds like the perfect happy medium.
