Thanksgiving clicky 4! Yams

Yams are MY favorite dish at Thanksgiving. I now make them "my" way which is LOTS of butter, brown sugar, dried cranberries, and sometimes pecans.[Poll]

  • I personally think Yams are disgusting!

  • I'm usually not a fan, I can take 'em or leave 'em.  Maybe b/c my mom always tries to make a sort of healthy version.  But DH's aunt makes uh-may-zing ones, with a scary amount of butter, sugar and I think pecans.  Yum!

  • We do sweet potatoes (not technically yams), but we fry them in lots of butter (or butter-flavor Crisco, which isn't exactly healthy, but it tastes good).  I add a bit of brown sugar, but my dad doesn't (and he does them the best).

  • the way that yams are traditionally prepared for thanksgiving (with sweets) is NMS. i prefer them deep fried (like avila) or in my tawinese style rice-porridge.

    jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
  • haven't voted yet - I guess I should select the butter and sugar one, but it isn't really like that.  my mom has a recipe with yams, canned peaches and cashews.  I have no idea why, but I really like it.
  • All of the above; butter, brown sugar and marshmallows.
  • So I have to choose between butter and brown sugar OR marshmallows? I do all of those! I also intend to put pecans in them. Mmm! I think sometimes the difference is either a mash or cubed, not what to put in them. LOL

    Yes...because most of the time when people do the marshmallows, the butter and brown sugar are included. I guess I should have just put it as Yay mini-mallows, Boo mallows!
