Agreed. I loved her...she had a strata that I could eat weekly, but no, freezing, not so much. She had a tetrazzini, I think it was,that I pretty much hated.
To me, this is definitely--sort of like regular strata recipes, let's say--"make ahead" but a few days and fridge make-ahead, not "make it on December 1st and eat it again in January, 'cuz it's been in the freezer" make-ahead. That's what I was looking for when I bought her book. However, bygod, the woman can cook. So...I use it for that, for just "this is a great recipe, and if needed, I can make it on Sunday and serve on Wednesday" sort of thing.
I freely admit, I have zero recollection of canned sweet potatoes. Let's see...yup, you're right. Brandied Sweet Potato Apple Gratin does use canned Sweet potatoes, which I didn't even know existed, until this moment. Learn something new every day.
