Holy crap! That sounds REALLLLLLY great! I would have to take out the pecans though. Im allergic. ;)

I prefer sweet potatoe; it looks like it would substitute well in this recipe :D

OK, we've taken out the pumpkin and the pecans. How much more comes out before we have to rename it?

I have a number of recipes I use as a base, and add other ingredients depending on what mood I'm in. It's a good thing, really;)
