Casserole Making Tips -
Sweet Potatoes

	Sweet potatoes are commonly called yams, but indeed they are two different vegetables. The orange fleshed variety of sweet potatoes is the one most common in supermarkets, although there are varieties with white and yellow flesh.

Casserole Making Tips -
Pecans

	Pecans, a type of hickory nut, are native to the American south. Pecans have a high fat content, and a subtle, refined flavor. The nuts can be a bit pricey due to the costs related to growing, harvesting, shelling and sorting.
