I love the movie You Got Mail. I love, love it. Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, sigh. It’s the cutest and the lines are hilarious. I would own a little bookstore, selling cakes and pies to take home with your books and cloth bags. This is my sweet potato pie, which I would put in a foil tin and sell by the slice/pie. Deep down I am a romantic, a lover of cute movies and short haircuts. Make this pie, smile at strangers, sharpen some pencils and welcome the changing seasons.
This recipes makes enough filling for two pies, so keep one and share one.

I LOVE your pie dish, it’s fabulous! I also love the “keep one and share one” mentality, such a lovely idea 🙂
I always think that sharing a pie with friends, family, neighbors is just a great way to say “hey, i like you and want to bring you some joy” Food is such a connector. Thanks so much!
