Casserole Making Tips -
Sweet Potatoes

	Sweet potatoes will keep for a week or so when stored in a cool, dry, ventilated location, like a bowl on the countertop. Do not store sweet potatoes in the refrigerator as they will become soft and moldy.

Casserole Making Tips -
Unsalted Butter

	Unsalted butter can be found in most supermarkets and is the preferred choice for chefs. With no salt added to butter, you have complete control over the amount of sodium that is added to the dish.
