Yummy Freebie Friday y'all!

Since I wasn't able to post yesterday, here's the recipe I was supposed to share. In honor of one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving, I will share my recipe for my oh-so-yummo candied yams! Yams are the unsung vegetable because you can really do a lot with them. I usually just boil them for a tasty snack, or if I'm a little ambitious, I bake them stuffed with cinnamon sugar and butter. Then I'll slather s'more butter after baking! It's so ono! Anyways, the original recipe was from the internet. I've tweaked some ingredients around, and what I've come up is not bad at all! I hope you enjoy!

1 (29 oz.) can  of sweet potatoes
