Happy Thanksgiving!!

I'm dreaming that my house looked like this today...


I am totally obsessed with peacock blue these days.


I hope today is absolutely wonderful and that you are surrounded by loved ones and delicious food!


I used this recipe for sweet potato casserole (adapted from Allrecipes.com) last Thanksgiving and it was so good. I think it will make an appearance again today.


INGREDIENTS

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled, chopped, boiled and mashed
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 2 quart baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, white sugar, eggs, 1/3 cup butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, chopped pecans, flour, and 1/3 cup melted butter. Sprinkle over the sweet potato mixture.
  4. Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  5. Sprinkle top with mini marshmallows, bake for additional 5 minutes or until marshmallows are golden brown.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

See you all Monday!
