*Johnna's tip: The holidays are not over! Thanksgiving ushered in all the good sweet potato, pumpkin and turkey recipes but there are still more to come. Now until the end of December, let's see how creative we all can get, send JKGF all of your winter recipes so we can post them (johnnaknowsgoodfood@gmail.com). We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and shared this recipe with our family, who are probably our top critics...they gave this a thumbs up so it might be worth a try. Enjoy!
