An amazing candied sweet potato casserole recipe that is great for the holidays. We love it with our special twist!
Thanksgiving is not complete without turkey, homemade cranberry sauce, green beans, and a delicious candied sweet potato casserole. Now you can probably already tell what is going to be on our menu this year.
I am going back and forth on many either the maple cinnamon cranberry sauce or just the cranberry orange quinoa salad.
I am a huge fan of quinoa; however, the other family members aren't. Their loss, right? Maybe I will make half of the cranberry orange quinoa salad just for myself and any others who might prefer a healthier option.
We also would need rolls, so these delicious pumpkin spice dinner rolls might make it on the table, too.
I think so! Either way... this candied sweet potato casserole is to die for - we love it! I always love adding pecans to it, it adds a little extra crunch and a great flavor, too.
