    Taking Sides

    As far as Thanksgiving sides go, I really like my mom's sweet potatoes baked with brown sugar and topped with mini marshmallows, toasted just a little, so they're golden brown.

    Sugar rush anyone? But they're sooooo good.

    For those of you on the other side of the sweet potato camp, here is a delicious option. These orange spuds are sliced and roasted in salt and olive oil, then drizzled with just a touch of spicy honey. Not too sweet, with a kick of heat and herbs. I would be convinced to come over to your team, but just for the day.

      I love roasted sweet potatoes. The chile, honey and caramelization from roasting the potatoes was the perfect combination of flavors!
