The challengers on Beat the Chefs made this on the latest episode. Sounds good to me. Even the pecans sound good (and I don't usually like pecans), although I may substitute cashews. Probably going to try this next week, some time.

Well, if I'd seen this before this past weekend, I would have made it. But just saw the pictures from the Pig BBQ and I'm so heavy I don't even want to look at myself.

Back to healthy eating until the end of November.

I'm sorry Labs, I don't like sweet potatoes in anything but a pie.

No problem. Actually, although I liked the old, standard, "candied yams" at Thanksgiving when I was a kid, they were never my favourite thing. It has taken savoury recipes such as this, the Spicy Stuffed Sweet Potatoes, sweet-potato fries and sweet-potato chips to get me to like them more.
