I wonder if Butternut Squash can be substituted for sweet potatoes? To me the texture and flavor are very similar. I do have lots of squash but would have to buy sweet potatoes.
Hi, Dave. You could certainly make that swap in recipes.
My favorite sweet potato isn't even a recipe. Wrap in heavy foil and bake on a campfire.
Eating by the campfire with a little butter and cinnamon just enhances the flavor!
Thank you for the recipes above though. They will sure come in handy if the campfire gets rained out!
Just found it on Paleo Hacks, can't wait to have it for suppers. Carameliziang the onions right now...
