A friend of mine made the sweet potato souffle as part of a meal for my family and I after my son was born last year, it was phenomenal. I don’t normally eat sweet potatoes but that is one way I will now! I wouldn’t mind trying the recipe of stuffing and sausage.
I agree that those both look delicious! I’m a huge sweet potato fan so I’ll definitely be making one of these…just don’t know which one yet! Thanks so much for stopping by!
