My family loves sweet potatoes.
But, boy oh boy, those babies are
tough.
A few months ago, in a moment of weakness, I saw "canned yams" and I was intrigued.
They ended up in my cart.
Canned yams changed my life.
Do you know how easy they are?
Yeah, you just open them up and they are already PEELED and cooked and soft.
Who knew?!
The professor even explained that his mother-- yes, the cowboy, she uses canned yams every Thanksgiving.
And, I was talking to my Italian sister-in-law on the phone from Italy and guess what? Yup. She was opening canned yams for her baby. She loves canned yams too!
So, for all you unbelievers out there... I dare you. Open up a can.
(My family likes em mashed with stuff on the top.)
I mean, it makes me wonder what else am I missing.
There may be a whole universe of canned-yam-goodness that eludes me. What are your secrets? When it comes to your favorite things I'm all ears.
Or maybe I should say, I yam what I yam.

courtesy laugh... thanks)
This is what we put on top...
1 stick of butter (melted)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup coconut
bake till crusty. good crusty not crusty crusty.
What do baby sweet potatoes wear to bed?
Their
yammies. (duh.)
