No. I’m not crazy. I know it’s not Thanksgiving, and you didn’t miss out on seven months of life, either.

I may or may not have bought a few too many sweet potatoes in preparation for Easter dinner last weekend, so…I present you with this brainchild! A sort of new take on a loaded sweet potato, but one you can enjoy even in the beginning of spring without feeling like autumn leaves and Christmas shopping are bearing down on you!
