Sweet Potato-Jalapeno Casserole Recipe #364781
Guests pedal their way to an outdoor feast in Key West, FL.Shaded by palm fronds and papaya trees, guests dining at the Shields home prop their vehicles in the backyard. Donna Shields beams as her guests start to arrive on bikes. There is a roast wrapped in green banana leaves next to a spicy-sweet potato casserole - which is what we prepared and it is an interesting dish!!! (The way I described it appears that we went to the dinner - no we just prepared the sweet potato casserole) Holiday gatherings are notorious for rich fare, but healthy options don't have to be mundane.;) Coastal Living Magazine, November 2008 Edition.
