Thought this name it was a fun twist to my recipes! I can’t take credit for it though, my uncle picked out this name. This dish is SO delicious, filling, and nutritious. I LOVE squash and sweet potatoes! Sweet potatoes have so many health benefits, primarily for it’s anti-inflammatory properties, and it’s a great natural source of carbohydrates so it’s very filling. You will definitely have to try this recipe! For Thanksgiving, I made enough of it to last all weekend, so my recipe feeds over 20 people! Adjust the recipe to your needs.
