Aunt Vivian's Sweet Potato Pie #Tasty Food

 hi my name is Bianca Lambert and I am

cooking my aunt Vivian's sweet potato

pie my honors the only person in our

family that still bakes sweets

she's the only person that's kind of

carried this recipe over from my

grandmother and just kind of passed down

those southern routes so the way that

you will know your potatoes are done you

just kind of give it a little poke or a

little stab and that's how you know that

it's ready I grew up in Atlanta and my

parents are from this town and Alabama

called Monroeville so Thanksgiving

Christmas like whatever holiday you can

think of we were drive down well my

grandma I remember like she would just

always have all this food and she didn't

have a lot of money and all that but you

could guarantee that there was going to

be a spread everything that you ever

wanted she knew all your favorites

and that was her way of showing love and

I feel like that is what southern

cooking is all about it's just a way to

show love and and give back to your

family in a different kind of way I'll

say this I'm always looking forward to

this pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas

I might even volunteer to make the sweet

potato pie this year nobody's probably

gonna let me do it though I don't let me

do like one and then she'll do it

anybody makes anything good like if you

know something's really good and

Thanksgiving it just goes so if you

don't get to that pie before it's gone

forget about it

and people I mean we do share it's very

much about community but people like

what they like we all know each other's

favorites so yet once it's gone that's

it this is just one of my all-time

favorites it's the thing I can eat I

mean I can't eat a whole pie by myself

so my aunt surprised me by letting me

know that she uses lemon extract in the

sweet potato pie when she said it I was

like is she making a mistake but it's

been perfect for a year so I'm sure she

knows what she's talking about

here's the thing I don't think anyone

can cook sweet potato pie like anybody

in my family nobody does it quite like

we do if I hate to all the aunties and

grandmas and people out there like you

guys are amazing and I just think we're

all partial to our families

cooking Thanksgiving for us is just like

the best time of the year it's probably

my favorite holiday just because it's so

much about family and food and eating

and just having a good time it tastes so

good no it's gonna be super proud
