1SweetPotatoes1Candied sweet potatoes with lots of butter and marshmallows used to be THE DISH at my family Thanksgiving dinners every year, or at least for me it was. I don't know what it was that drew me to it. After going vegan, and becoming more conscious of my diet, this dish was no longer a part of my Thanksgiving menu. I could have swapped the butter with some earth balance and used vegan marshmallows instead, but I wanted a recipe more agreeable with my whole-foods, plant-based diet. When Yvonne and I discussed the concept of this recipe for our 2014 Vegan Gluten-free Sweet Eclectic Thanksgiving Menu, I had nothing but a smile on my face. I was soooo excited to see what the chef in her would whip up and I am pleased to say this recipe was everything I wanted, and more. Plus, it is refined sugar-free with a fat-free option!
