Do you smell that in the air? It's the holidays. They are coming up so quick on us aren't they?
Here is a recipe for a Sweet Potato Cobbler that will be at hit at your feast. It was given to me by a patient at work. She recently had knee replacement surgery and we talk recipes while I help her through her torture...I mean treatment. She is a trooper!

I made a half recipe this first time because I knew my kids wouldn't eat it. That was quite all right. More for my husband and me!
