ReplyDeleteI love that there is PI in you Pie. That is my wedding date...3-14...and pi was our "theme".
ReplyDeleteSo clever...
ReplyDeleteLooks really good. That is actually less sweet and less rich than my sweet potato casserole, and I make my casserole with less sugar than the original recipe called for.
