I hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day and are in the midst of enjoying this long President’s Day weekend.

It’s a leisurely Sunday in our home; and it’s another sweet potato recipe this week. Well, this isn’t just another sweet potato recipe in our home. It’s one of our mainstays, lighter and healthier sweet potato casserole. I don’t know why I haven’t done more posts on sweet potatoes. They are as much a staple in our home as brown rice.

I hope mother nature has been kinder to you than New Yorkers this summer. The heat has been unrelenting. The heat and the humidity has been unbearable. And if you are a fellow New Yorker trudging through the subway system, I empathize. It can feel like you are simmering in stew. And if you are visiting NYC on vacation, don’t get too happy if you spot a relatively empty train car when the others are packed to the gills. The air conditioner is likely broken in that car. 😉
