My Thanksgiving Contribution

This is how I do Thanksgiving. Round one: I have a scoop of everything there is to offer, greens, beans. potatoes ect. Rounds two through Sunday: yams are the highlight of my meal and I accompany them with dressing, mac & cheese, and some occasional pieces of turkey. So this year I decided to create my favorite side dish myself.
