Receta Sweet Potato Hummus
Sweet potatoes are one of those ingredients that I pretty much like in any form. And that’s weird, because they weren’t a vegetable that my parents ever served to me growing up.
In fact, my introduction to sweet potatoes came from my grandma, the most glorious non-cook on this side of the Mississippi.
Parents ship Branny off to granparents’ house so that I can annoy someone else.
Commence annoying grandparents.
Grandparents quickly learn that when the mouth is full, the chatterbox stops.
Grandma microwaves a sweet potato, desperate for anything to keep Branny occupied.
Suspicious looks come from my eyes.
Grandma douses sweet potato in imitation Mrs. Butterworth’s “maple” syrup.
Annoyance ends. Mouth is full.
Since then, you can pretty much guarantee I’ll eat sweet potatoes in any way, shape, or form. I, however, refuse to eat syrup (imitation maple or otherwise).
