Here are 20 things I plan to do to make 2020 an amazing year!
Over the years, there is one recipe I make that I am overwhelmingly asked to share every year around the holidays, and this is it!

It was in demand to the point where my recipe card went missing for a while, but has since been returned and now I can blog it, haha! I hope you enjoy my favorite sweet potato casserole recipe!
