Why we love Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

In my book Sweet Potato Pie is soul food! 

I guess my love of sweet potato pie began back when I lived in Texas twenty years ago… I’d not heard of it or tasted it before then and NOW it’s a favorite comfort food of mine! Plus, I just adore everything sweet potato so there’s that bonus too!
