Growing up (and for much of my adult life), I hated yams!
Yes, “hate” is a strong word. And, yet, its usage is 100% appropriate here! I literally shivered at the thought of yams. Bleh!
Of course, my only exposure to yams had been to yams from a can! Ewwww!
Luckily, I eventually discovered fresh yams! Now, they’re one of my favorite foods!
Whether you already love yams…or you’re just now willing to try them for the first time…I hope you love this recipe as much as we do at our house!
Mmm…….
