There’s No Sweets Shortage Here + Thanksgiving Giveaways

November 6, 2015 |Sweet Bites

Hey y’all! It’s that time of year for everyone’s favorite food holiday – Thanksgiving! And you know yours truly has a seat at the family table with more to offer than just a sweetpotato casserole.

Now we’ve heard the news of the Great Pumpkin Shortage of 2015 which predicts their crop to be down by half this year, but do not fret. It’s just even more reason to make sweetpotatoes the star of your Thanksgiving and holiday dinners. Halloween carvings were so last month, so toss out those pumpkins and make the #sweetswap because, between you and me, pumpkins just don’t have the flavor of our sweet taters!
