Cake, cookies, pudding, ice cream \u2013 they\u2019re all tasty, but for me, the best dessert is pie. Cream pies, chocolate pies, fruit pies, potato pies? Bring \u2018em on. I\u2019ll eat \u2018em all. Except coconut. Never could get used to the texture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Sheila\u2019s grandmother made a great white sweet potato pie, but would not share her secret! She moved away and I can\u2019t get my yearly fix, so just before Christmas, we baked until we got the taste just right. Sheila baked \u2013 I ate. I could eat a whole pie by myself, no problem. I found the white sweet potatoes at the farmer\u2019s market, so Sheila could practice, practice. They have a milder, sweeter flavor than the orange ones and they\u2019re also good baked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\"
