Fall Hosting Recipe: Sweet Potato Marshmallow Casserole

I am completely in love with casseroles and this one was soooooo delicious!!!!

“If it doesn’t feel like fall outside, you can certainly make it feel like fall on the inside. One of my favorite tricks is to bake something that doesn’t keep the oven on for too long and also fills the house up with autumn aromas.”
