I'm making snickerdoodle cupcakes today to take to our dog park - for the people, the dogs get treats! LOL
If this had been my introduction to sweet potatoes, I might not hate them now. I was a kid. We went to someone's house for Thanksgiving and part of the supper was sweet potatoes with a marshmallow sauce. I was the kid who didn't like soft fried onions, because they were too sweet. If I had thought of those sweet potatoes as a dessert and not as a vegetable, I might not have been so grossed out.I was poking around looking for Fall/Thanksgiving recipes and stumbled on to this sweet potato casserole.
Sweet Potato Meringue Bake
This sweet potato meringue casserole is a slightly sweeter variation of the original, minus the extra sugar. It's simple enough to throw together even after the holidays. For more sauce, you can add extra water, butter, brown sugar or maple syrup to the filling before baking. Rum, brandy or...www.tasteofhome.com
I’ve never noticed it before but there are several variations.
It makes me wonder which came first the marshmallows or the meringue.
I don’t mind a spoon of these super sweet potatoes at a holiday meal but I prefer a simple baked sweet potato with S&P and a little butter.If this had been my introduction to sweet potatoes, I might not hate them now.

Not an issue for me. I dislike squash even more than sweet potatoes.I don’t mind a spoon of these super sweet potatoes at a holiday meal but I prefer a simple baked sweet potato with S&P and a little butter.
For me a small baked sweet potato is much easier to prepare than a hard shell winter squash.
These days I do something similar with a squirt of sugar free maple flavored pancake syrup and a knob of butter.An MIL used to do her Sweet Potatoes baked/roasted in a brown sugar glaze. It was really delicious. Peeled and cut into large chunks and baked in a large casserole. The glaze became beautifully sticky . Been ages since I've made them. Was one of her specialty dishes for Thanksgiving/Christmas, always on the menu.
Maybe I'll bake a small one as a part of my Thanksgiving weekend meals.
Equally awful to me. Except Zucchini and yellow squash. I just don't like sweet squashes.Not an issue for me. I dislike squash even more than sweet potatoes.
Looking forward to having this in the morning for breakfast!View attachment 66561

DH needed to do a quality check with a cup of coffee as his afternoon snack.
For someone who hates tomatoes, you always have nice looking maters on hubby's plate. Good job!View attachment 66568
