Flowers in the Attic Sweet Potatoes
This recipe is from my friend Sue who claims she was inspired by reading Flowers in the Attic. I suppose if you’re going to be inspired by anything in that book, the sweet potatoes are pretty safe. Though not all the food is.
These recipe’s pretty sweet. Definitely something to make as a treat or part of a larger dinner.
