Check it out – a video! We recently partnered with the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission to create videos about one of my favorite foods – the sweet potato. Here’s a recipe that will start to get you in the mood for fall, but is still light and fresh.
Below are a few of my favorite screenshots. Scroll down (or click the image above) for the video. Special thanks to Rightfrog Productions for the video work!

The video was great….thanks for a new way to use sweet-potato.
Have a great rest of your summer.
I’ve already added sweet potato’s to my grocery list for next week, but didn’t know what to do with them yet. Now I don’t have to look further, haha 🙂 Thanks!
