From our Home to Yours: ASGA Holiday Recipes This holiday season, we’ll be sharing favorite family recipes, the story behind them, and why they are important to us and our family memories. Moriah DeJacimo, ASGA Communications Coordinator "I lost my mother to leukemia seven years ago. One of my favorite memories of Thanksgiving is her Sweet Potato Casserole, which was just the right balance of sweetness, butter and sweet potatoes. After several years of trying, I’m really proud that I have now mastered the recipe. While it will never be quite the same, I am really proud that it is now my job to bring the casserole to our family dinner. I hope you enjoy Mama Dejamico’s Sweet Potato Casserole." |
