Verdict...

Oh I completely forgot to give a review of the sweet potatoes. I was going to bake them, but because I was trying to feed my boy too, I tried the mashed. I didn't add the sugar either. I must say that my son and I liked it about the same... not.. one.. bit. I felt it tasted like much like baby food, and it deserved to sit on the table next to the marshmallow sugary goop from Thanksgiving, as far as I was concerned.

So my husband comes home and he says that he'd love it... if I added some marshmallows on top. And no, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. So I topped his with the sugary grossness and nuked it a bit and ta-da .... dinner is served.

My husband devoured his dessert-ish-sidedish, Caelan stared at his with a "I'm not eating that" look on his face, and I tried to mask mine with garlic salt and that spray non-fat butter... with much dismay.

I haven't yet given up on the sweet potato though... next time we bake them as Eve instructed me to do (did I listen? Nope! That'll learn me..)
