Story

A few years ago, we all got bored with our traditional sweet potato and marshmallow bake for our holiday dinner. Maybe it was because the kids started developing more grown up taste buds, or maybe it was just time for a change. Whatever the reason, mixing sweet potatoes, apples, and citrus together is a great way to expand on this classic dish.
