Yam Season!

Easy Yams How To~

Its Fall (obviously) and there are many fall foods which are considered popular (such as apples). But often the poor little (fat) yam is disregarded. Why? Because no one knows what to do with it.... or its really complicated.
Luckily for you, I am lazy and I won't put up with that nonsense. Here is a simple, and very tasty way to eat yams! (recipe for 1 ^_~)

You Need:
1. a yam
2. stick o' butter (don't cry)
3. brown sugar
4. nutmeg
5. cinnamon
6. foil

The Cooking:
0. FIRST Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
1. Peel your yam and slice it in half. Slit 4 lines in both pieces (cooks faster)
2. In a bowl add 1/3 of the butter stick and pop it in the microwave for 30 sec.
3. Add 2 dashes nutmeg, 3 dashes of cinnamon, 1 tbs. brown sugar, mix well!
4. lightly brush (or spoon) over the yams (only 1 spoonfull or so, you want the rest for after)
5. Put the yams in the foil and cover (with foil) and bake for about 50 minutes (its ready when you poke the yams and chopstick goes through easily)
6. Take them out and cut artfully (hehe) and pour the remaining mixture over.
* Eat right after as yams cool down fast! I waited to take the photo and what not, so I had to microwave it afterward... sad, very sad, but still delicious.
