Sweet Potato and Squash Bake

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

That sounds easy enough! I am surprised to see it has no added milk, eggs or brown sugar like a normal sweet potato pie calls for!

A good recipe for certain people that live in countries where these are in short supply YOO-HOO Lynda are you seeing this recipe? You could probably get these ingredients really easy!

For me, I haven't tried cooking potato and squash in one dish. Usually, I cook potato together with meat and squash is with fish or other vegetable. And sometimes, I cooked it together with other veges and sauce it with coconut milk.

Hi!

I realized recently that there are different types of sweet potatoes, but still the same great taste! It sounds wonderful indeed.
