I have loved creating Thanksgiving dishes this week. I’m just preparing and stretching my stomach for the big day. I LOVE Thanksgiving!

My most favorite dish… oh, I’m getting giddy… is the sweet potato casserole! I could probably eat one whole 9×13 pan by myself. How could you not love the creamy and sweet texture topped with crunchy pecans and brown sugar? I may or may not have made two so I could freeze one for a later (most likely sooner) date! Trust me, no one in your family will even know it’s healthy. I love ‘health punking’ people! Okay, enjoy the healthy sweet potato casserole with your eyes while I go enjoy another helping with my mouth.
