    Ohmygosh, this looks so yummy! I love sweet potatoes. I'm actually entering this contest too (tomorrow), and now I'm really glad I'm not entering my recipe into the kids category :)

    Ah I love anything with sweet potatoes in it! I don't know what North Carolina sweet potatoes are, but I'd guess that they're just as delicious as the ones we eat up north. Can't wait to try this!

    Yeah at the last concert I went to, the people sitting next to me were practically injecting heroin. I tried to avert my eyes so that I couldn't testify in court...but I swear that's what it seemed like. :P

    I LOVE this milkshake! Wholesome and filled with my favorite orange veggie!

    This sounds very interesting. But it looks awesome! I do LOVE snickerdoodles. And I enjoy sweet potatoes. But I don't know about in a shake. Is the sweet potato flavor very noticeable?? I'm extremely interested in trying this. Thanks for sharing!
