Sweet Potato Souffle

I think this one would be filed in my "Less College, More Grown-Up" pinterest board, but it is the holiday season, and it is definitely one of my absolute favorites around this time of year.  My mom makes it for all of our Christmas parties and holiday meals--I look forward to it all year long.  Honestly, it tastes more like a dessert than a main dish. Soooo goooddddd!
