    The closer and closer we get to fall, the more I crave things like pumpkin and sweet potatoes. I decided I wanted to try a sweet potato casserole or “bake,” and ended up pairing it with this buffalo chicken.

    All of the flavors combine together so well—the sweetness of the potatoes gives the perfect contrast to the spicy wing sauce and the bacon adds the perfect fat and crunch.  The celery and blue cheese really pull the whole theme together. None of the flavors here compete; they blend together perfectly.
