This is a Kansas City inspired BBQ sauce that has an amazing contrast between sweet and spicy flavors, and has a really nice smoky taste.

Brandied Yams with Tangerines

January 27, 2010

This is one of my all-time favorite Thanksgiving recipes that I look forward to every year. This year I came to the realization that it was just far too good a dish to serve only once a year. I’ve tried it on the side of roasts and different chicken dishes and love it every time [...]
