Thanksgiving Yams

If there is one thing I love about Thanksgiving it is reminiscing with family about all the wonderful blessings in my life I have to be grateful for. The next best thing.... YAMS. I love them. I make them every year so I thought I'd share this recipe.

3 large yams
1 C. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 C. butter
1 t. vanilla
1 t. cinnamon
 cook yams until soft, then mash. Beat eggs, mix all ingredients together. Butter a 9x13 pan and spread mixture throughout. Top with topping.

Topping:
1/3 C.melted butter
1/3 C. flour
1 C. brown sugar
1 T. cinnamon
mix together and spread over yam mixture. Coat top with 1 C. pecans. Bake at 350 for 25 min.
