Fall Recipes – Sweet Potatoes
Recipes and Photography by Kelly Yandell
Sweet potatoes, they aren’t just for Thanksgiving anymore. Power packed with nutritional vitamins A, C, B6, E, beta-carotene, potassium and so much more, they are on every health experts’ Must Eat list. Given its place of prestige, it only seems right that there are two East Texas festivals honoring this tuberous root. On October 18-20, there’s the East Texas Yamboree in Gilmer, and on the fourth Saturday in October the town of Golden sponsors its festival.
