Sweet Potato Pie
Sweet
potato pie is a southern tradition that ranks high in soul food cooking. Simple
to make and a high fiber healthy food it has long been part of the traditional
thanksgiving meal.
But this pie is just too good to only eat once a year. It's been gaining in popularity
and you're likely to find it at any holiday gathering...or just served by itself
as a delicious and healthy snack any time. Some eat it plain, others top it with
ice cream or whipped topping. A few culinary pros mix up a meringue with egg whites
for the last few minutes of baking. The
taste is sweet enough to serve as a dessert but sweet potato pie can also take
the place of a veggie at the main course. Either way, the texture and taste are
an all-occasion treat ... Also
