    1. Denise, I have never had as leftovers, but should work fine. You may need to add a little more milk when reheating.

        1. Denise, I vote for you as mother of the year!!!! Honey Boo Boo Child has nothing on you…haha!!! Love your blog!!!

  1. I absolutely love this recipe!! It came out so sweet using real maple syrup. I alos used closer to two cups of shredded sweet potato and found that it wasn't necessary to add milk when reheating the leftovers. Thank you so muhc for all of these wonderful recipes.

  2. I would be the only one eating this at my house, it sounds wonderful. Wondering if anyone has ever made something like this and frozen the extra servings for another time.

  3. I made this on the stove top and used unsweetened almond milk instead of dairy and it was outstanding!

  4. I made this the other day and it turned out wonderful! I can't even begin to tell you how delicious it was. Even my husband loved it. The only thing I didn't do was to add any sweetener while it was cooking, so we had to add it after and it wasn't as good. Next time (and believe me, there WILL be a next time), I'll add the sweetener while cooking it! It had a very creamy texture and really almost tasted like pumpkin pie! It didn't last long in my house, that's for sure!
