We only look for sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving. They are dripping with butter and brown sugar, I try to ease it a bit with pineapple chunks, then we drown everything in marshmallos. I do love to eat this knowing it will come around next year.
With half as many people last year I made twice as much food. I have gained a lot of weight and what does my dieters group suggest. Sweet Potatoes.
So my current schedule is to add potatoes to every meal. That should really help my weight loss journey. Once Covid leaves I will start.
Your story is funny, Kathy! When we went into this pandemic, I was determined to go out with everything I loved in my pantry as if each meal were our last. I need to pull back to sweet potatoes. 😉

Thank you. Sometimes I am not sure where the story will take me and this one turned into being a lot of fun to write. Relief during a pandemic.

I can’t say I love sweet potatoes, but I’m seeing so many new ways of eating them with this week’s prompt. This isn’t the first post where I’ve seen marshmallows put on sweet potato. Interesting!

In my family that was the only way we had them for a very long time.

We rarely eat regular potatoes anymore, but sweet potatoes very often. But not with Marshmallows! It’s funny how that marshmallow sweet potato dish has become a Thanksgiving thing along with green bean casserole.

I agree, we know the first few versions of Thanksgiving did not have marshmallows, it took a few years to invent them. Seriously it may have been a mom trying to get the family to eat their veggies. Thanks for your comment.
