Thanksgiving Sweet Potato Casserole

Thanksgiving Sweet Potato Casserole

A couple of years ago, a family friend sent my mom a bowl of her homemade sweet potato casserole for us to enjoy at Thanksgiving dinner. Up to that point my family’s only experience with sweet potatoes was in french fry form. To us, those fries where only ever alright; not enough to dethrone the regular potato as King of Fries. So you can excuse our lack of excitement when my mom placed the hefty glass bowl of nut topped orange goop among the smorgasbord of our traditional tasty Thanksgiving treats.

Yes, my younger sister is moving in with me, and her drive down here is being guided by what may as well be the familial motorcade. Sibling rivalry aside, I’m very excited to cram my sister and parents into my tiny one-bedroom apartment for 4 days. It’ll be a great reminder of why I love living alone!
