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. Did we mention recent research that proves nutritious sweet potatoes can help you maintain overall good health?

Not that we ever needed an excuse, of course.

sweet potato pieA southern US tradition, sweet potato pie has been steadily gaining in popularity in many households where you're likely to find it at many holiday gatherings...or just served by itself as a delicious and healthy snack any time.

Some like their sweet potato pie plain, others top it with pecans, ice cream, or whipped topping. A few culinary pros even mix up a meringue with egg whites to top it off during 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, sweet potato pie is an all-occasion treat!
