Well that just stinks. rats.
actually my dogs prefer the "cheap" brand instead of libby's. i think it is too strong. oh well.Not just Libby's, unfortunately. It would be the cheap brands too.
And on another topic, sweet potato french fries rock! They even have them on the lunch menu at work now. I don't feel so guilty about getting the french fries then. :)

Yes sweet potato anything for me please, except maybe pie..nope has to be foodie stuff, not after dinner stuff, and if they are fried, even better..
Waffle shortage, I just about fell out of my office chair this morning when I read that, I mean come on, do we have to make that news..?
My kids love peanut butter jelly waffle sandwiches, so they will be hurt'n, but there are other brands besides Eggo.. -

oh man, has anyone else had the sweet potato french fries? de-lish!!! Target used to have them, but haven't the last couple of times i've been. thankfully i found them at costco, so i got a HUGE bag. (Costco is a warehouse store where you can only buy things in bulk. dogs like it because they often have bully sticks.)
Or Sweet Potato, potato chips… again.. de-lish!!!!!

We get frozen sweet potato fries and love them. sometimes I give the girls one before cooking, and they think they are frozen treats.

OK everybody this thread is going off topic from pumpkin shortages to sweet potato recipes. Let's all calm down here and get back to the subject. (-:

Wouldn't any kind of squash work? Does it have to be pumpkin or can it be, I don't know, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, hubbard squash….?
We used to grow all of those when I was a brat ankle-biter kid on the farm. (And zucchini...lots and lots of zucchini... I still have nightmares about fried zucchini, zucchini soup, zucchini bread, zucchini zucchini zucchini:eek:)

The most hilarious thing about the photo is that little girl could pass for me when I was her age…at least pass as my sister. :D

I haven't given Cody pumpkin, but he loves sweet potatoes, thankfully. We have had an overabundance of sweet potatoes this year, and most of them are huge (3-4 times the size that they usually are). We've actually had them with dinner so often in the last few weeks, we've joked about writing a book entitled "1001 Ways to Cook a Sweet Potato". I usually make a pumpkin cheesecake for the holidays, but I will have to try the sweet potato cheesecake.

Normally I am not a fan of sweet potato pie, but this place in Chicago, Soul Vegetarian East, makes a vegan sweet potato pie that is to die for.
Edit: Rob makes a really good zucchini pizza crust too.

oh, man, send me a piece. we're going to a friend's house, and i wasn't "required" to make dessert this year. I do think i'm going to make red velvet cupcakes for Digital's birthday (next month), not that he can have any, but i do like the red velvet cake and it'll be the last night of my control unleashed class, so there's that.
anyway, that cheesecake is just delish!!!
