Mom’s Delight–Norma’s Sweet Potato Pie

I met Norma outside Montgomery Alabama back in 2004 and quickly fell in love with her “Southern cooking”, her homemade cheddar biscuits were killer but nothing stood tall beside her sweet potato pie and guys you can make this tasty “Dawg Treat” for your mother this week-end.
