In Progress - #69: Try 5 new recipes

Today Steven & I celebrated Lodgegiving, one of our favorite traditions since moving to D.C. Hosted by three of our friends who live in "The Lodge," the day gives us a chance to celebrate Thanksgiving with our D.C. family before heading out to the various parts of the country we call home.

To mark the occasion, I tried a new recipe - Sweet Potato Souffle. Quick, easy and delicious, this recipe is a five-star keeper!
