It’s not Thanksgiving without the candied yams
If there's anything I can count on in this world, it's my son asking this question when coming home for a family dinner... "Will there be candied yams?"

Of course, they are a family tradition and a favourite dish of my own as well, so if we are having turkey, we are also having candied yams.
