nice post…
This looks great. I’ve flagged this for Thanksgiving this year … think I might modify slightly by making "twice-baked" sweet potatoes and adding the mash back into the sweet potato shell. Thanks for the nice post! 🙂
sounds like a cool idea!!!!
I made this for Thanksgiving tonight! It was awesome, I added extra of all the spices though, and also added some maple syrup into the crumbled pecans and the mash 😉 It was all gone by the end of dinner!! Everyone had seconds! Thanks Lauren <3 Btw — 100% vegan dinner for 8 omnivore guests 😉
