A few weeks ago I got an email from an Editor at InRegister, a Baton Rouge Magazine, asking if I would want to share a recipe with their readers. Of course I said "yes!" and was excited to share a project I had been brewing up for awhile. Funny thing is this is not my first piece of work to be published in that magazine, but I was actually an intern with the company who publishes InRegister (and the Baton Rouge Business Report and 225 Magazines) for two years in college. I spent one summer as an editorial intern for InRegister specifically and had a few small pieces I worked on then. It is a little nostalgic and a honor to work with a company I value so much yet again!

I have been brewing the idea for these recipes for about a year, since I started using purple sweet potatoes. I just knew I had to make something for football season, since LSU colors are purple and gold and this town BLEEDS them. With being asked to write a piece right before football season kicks off, I knew it was the perfect time to share.
