Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole

So if you have ever been to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse you must have tried their sweet potato casserole as a side. If you haven't, I highly recommend it. Until I had this side dish, I did not like sweet potatoes and I did not like pecans. This is so yummy it's like a dessert. I will most definitely be making it for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Ryan has even declared it his favorite food, beating out mac&cheese even. Now I don't quite believe that one but he meant it at the time. When I made this, I used the casserole dish that is one size smaller than a 9x13 so that it wasn't too thin.

Michele, of the big red foot

So here's a shot of the lovely red cast I'm sporting. Friends and family have been super supportive. Paul has been my own personal Toby, carrying me when I need it and fetching my every whim and desire :) Can't wait for 6 weeks to be up and the other foot to be operated on. I promised my niece Madison that I would get a pink cast next time.
