I can't tell if this is supposed to be an actual yam or if the slightly tapered ends denote a sweet potato but either way it is awesome.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi

Sweet potato gnocchi over at the Sassy Radish , via CRAFT .

It's hard to find YAM recipes, but it's easy as SWEET POTATO PIE to find sweet potato recipes! Please ignore any instances of the word "yam" because, I assure you, they're all talking about sweet potatoes. FOR THE RECORD: Some people call the deeper orange, red-skinned sweet potatoes (Garnet Yams [not a yam]) "yams," but call the lighter-skinned and paler-fleshed sweet potatoes (Jewel Yams [not a yam]) "sweet potatoes," to differentiate between them. But they're both just sweet potatoes, okay?? OKAY?? Sweet Potato Pie with Pecan Topping from Simply Recipes Maple-Glazed Yams Sweet Potatoes with Pecan Topping also from Simply Recipes Sweet Potato and Cornbread Stuffing , which was ALMOST the recipe I featured on the flyers. A slew of other recipes from the same site . Sweet Potato Pie from Tigersandstrawberries.com, which IS featured on the flyer. Sweet Potato Apple Casserole from Food Musings.

Okinawan Sweet Potato Recipe!

Thanks to EmilyB for the wonderful recipe link, and to Reid over at 'Ono Kine Grindz for the Hawaiin recipe. Okinawan Sweet Potato and Haupia Pie ( Haupia is a coconut milk-based Hawaiin dessert.) This recipe utilizes sweet potatoes found in Okinawa , Japan. Okinawan sweet potatoes, when cooked, develop a purple flesh and a delicate taste. You can find Okinawan sweet potatoes at Asian groceries (or in Okinawa, har har), and be sure to ask an employee if you can't find one! -------------- I'd also like to thank everyone for their kind sweet potato and/or yam encouragement: thanks, everyone! I LOVE hearing from people who plan to pass out the fliers, so please don't hesitate to comment and let me know where you intend to distribute them.
