When I was making breakfast this morning, I got onto my blog to look up this recipe, and realized it wasn’t there. I can’t believe I’ve never posted this!

It was the first place winner for reader submitted recipes that year. Times have changed. The original recipe called for steaming the sweet potatoes, only using 1 cup out of a can of coconut milk, but adding 3/4 cup of water, didn’t include onion, and had no added salt.
