    Random comment, but he is not lyin’ about the butter. I found a women in my area (Chattanooga) that churns her own butter. MAN!! It is soooo good. No batch is exactly the same as the next. I usually stock up when she makes it available and keep in the freezer.
    Thank you - can’t wait to test run this recipe before the big day! ❤

    I made them twice! These bad boys are a hit! Trust the process, y’all. These yams are delicious! I used Cara Cara oranges on accident, and they took my yams to the next level! Shout out to Mr. Make it Happen for making recipes with simplicity and deliciousness!

    Instead of an orange, I juice one lemon. Trust me, it's still sweet...but something about how that lemon plays off the sweetness of it, is KILLER!!!!

      I agree, lemon extract was my grandmother’s secret weapon, lemon adds something extra that elevates the flavor beyond just vanilla. 🤤👏🏽

    Candied Yams is my favorite side dish. My combo half plate ham, yams, baked mac and cheese, and other half turkey. dressing lil rice if there is some, this half topped with gravy, then my potatoe salad and collard greens in between so both sides can get a lil of both😋

    I'm so glad you showed the right way to do candied yams. When you slice the yams and put them in the oven the syrup is too watery compared to being on the stove. You killed it as usual!!!

My thanksgiving menu is ham, dressing, sweet potatoes, broccoli rice cheese casserole, corn casserole, Mac & cheese, chicken & dumplings (like my grandma always made) we use the dumpling broth as our giblet gravy, rolls, pecan pie, pumpkin pie. Oh, sweet tea because we’re in the south! Happy Thanksgiving!🍁

    I woulda eased up on the ginger and added it more gradually because a pinch of that stuff goes a long way. Aside from that, maybe I'd add about a teaspoon of sea salt to balance out all the sugars.. Looks really good !! My favorite TG side is baked Mac and cheese.🙌🏽
