Friday’s Foods: Sweet Potato Souffle

I adore things made with sweet potatoes and with pumpkin. This recipe was shared again by Gayla Peterson, it is from a community cookbook put together by her friends and neighbors.

If you’re like me and love pumpkin, substitute pumpkin for the sweet potato. It’s not just a recipe for Thanksgiving or Christmas, pumpkin and sweet potatoes make great accompaniments to nearly any cool weather dinner. Special thanks to June Moriarty who contributed this recipe to the community cookbook. If you would like a copy, send an email to familyresourceblogger (at) gmail.com

Remember, every Friday a new recipe (or a few) will be posted, so be sure to check in!
