I finally got around to using the sweet potatoes that have been sitting on my counter and wow I'm glad I did. I loved the turnip soufflé dish so much that I figured I would try a version of that with the sweet potatoes and yum a dum dum this is the best sweet potato dish I have ever tasted! There is something about adding those eggs and baking it that gives it that light and fluffy texture. I took out the milk that was added to the turnip dish and used a small amount of coconut flour instead of regular flour. I tried everything to convince my kids to try a bite but as usual they refused. They would both rather eat Gerber Organic Sweet Potato baby food. At least it is healthier than eating a big bowl of pasta like so many other kids. All I can say is "More For Me!"

Wow. We made this tonight, and it was fantastic. Totally unexpected. Almost cake-y. It's going on our regular dinner rotation. Thanks!
