Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe...

Just thinking ahead to Thanksgiving...thought I would share a family favorite recipe. Great any time of the year though, not just for the holidays.

This is my absolute favorite recipe. This is pretty much all I eat...that and all the other veggies. I love the turnips and squash and...ok, I give up...I love every thing!!

  5. We always have it for thanksgiving, but no sugars, can't have that. Think he gets yams, they are sweeter?
    We add butter and cream and they come out delicious.

  6. Two of my favorite things -- yummy and simple!! We don't make a big fuss at the holidays, prefering what we country folk call "good ol' GRUB!" :-D Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, a dinner roll and a huge glass of milk. Heaven! :-D
    Blessings,

  7. The recipe is also a favorite of mine. I just looked at your Finished Sewing Room. WOW, I am just as organized as you are in the last two pictures. I don't feel so bad anymore. Your sewing table is just what I would like to make my sewing room complete but I will take some ideas from your book. Thanks for sharing that with us. The room is just lovely. What talent you have beside quilting. It is called ORGANIZATION!

  8. Thanks for dragging me even further into computerland! I never printed this way (it works!)- Usually go thru the hoops, selecting on the pages I want - which means all the rest of the stuff on the page too...this is so clean! We will definitely try this...will write more after the wedding, fondly, Sandy
