Did I ever mention that I love yams? Well I do! Sweet Potatoes are a poor and dissapointing substitute for the yam lover. Whenever I hear someone say they don't like yams, I instinctively know they have never had real yams. . .at least not the kind I like to make. Yams are naturally sweet and are delicious with just a bit of butter. My candied yams have been loved by every sweet potato hater out there. Actually, the recipe is my Grandmother's that I learned by watching my cousin, Jenny, make one on a thanksgiving from long ago. Since then I have become the official Candied Yam Maker for thanksgiving, and even my in-laws are asking for it.
Why this yam kick today? It isn't because thanksgiving is around the corner (although I probably would have written this then anyway.) It is because today I was weak and tired, and ready to quit the yeast cleanse. But I made myself some yams (which is allowed) and Voila! Energy and excitement. I can now excersize!
