    I can see adding the carrots to the sweet potatoes, and I make mine with some chicken stock and spices and whip them,but I can't see adding the br. sugar - to me sweet potatoes have enough flavor & sweetness on their own plus the carrots will add some some sweetness and who needs the extra calories - 2/7/09

    Made this last night & we loved it! I suggest starting the carrots first though, as I used a mixer and had pcs of carrot- which was fine- if you care. Also, add more pie spice. This made WAY MORE than 8 servings! There was 4 of us last night, & we could eat this at least twice more to finish it. - 5/12/09

    Sweet potatoes are *so* good for you. This could probably be adapted to lower the sodium, too. - 2/2/09

    This does sound good, but I think maybe you should remove the vegetarian tag. You can substitute with vegetable boullion (and most of us vegetarians know this), but as it is, chickens aren't vegetables. - 4/26/09

    This was great...we ALL LOVED IT!!!!

    .... although I am baffled why Pickie98 felt it was necessary to leave feedback that she hates sweet potatoes...heard of being nice???? (oh, right, that does not happen at the recipe site!)

    Since both carrots and sweet potatoes are high in natural sugars I am curious as to why the brown sugar is added. In addition the nutrition data does not list the grams of sugar in this dish. - 2/10/11

    I like this! especially the carrots & bouillion. Never thought of Pumpkin spice. I use brown sugar Splenda for less calories and keep it no salt. A little nutmeg adds a good taste replacing the salt! - 2/10/11

    Leave out the extra salt and use low-sodium chicken bullion to lower the sodium content. The bullion will still give it enough sodium to enhance the flavor. - 2/10/11
