Let’s talk Thanksgiving.
You know what I LOVE about this holiday? It’s the perfect time to remind us to slowwwww.down. I know why it’s been strategically placed between Halloween and the hustle & bustle of Christmas. It’s the break we all need, and I’m THANKful for it for so many reasons. I love hearing of everyone’s traditions, what your thankful for, what’s on your family menus, and hearing how full everyone is after :).
One thing I’d like to share today is a recipe that is a staple for my southern family- our Sweet Potato Cassarole recipe. I know there’s several ways to make this dish, but if you’re looking for a sweeter version, this will have them coming back for seconds.
Sweet Potato Casserole
3 cups mashed sweet potatoes (peel, boil & drain)
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup milk (I use Blue Diamond Sweetened Vanilla Almond Milk to make it sweeter)
1/2 cup butter
Dash of salt
mix together and pour into a buttered dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 mins-1 hr.
Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
Mix together,add
1/3 cup flour
1 cup pecans ( we use chopped ones)
Put on top of cooked filling. Bake another 10 to 15 minutes or until the top is slightly brown.
I make mine in pie dishes but you can Double to make a whole pyrex.
I hope you guys enjoy it as much as we have. It
Now down to business. As we get ready to kick it in high gear at VerClare for the holiday season, I just wanted to start off by thanking y’all for shopping us! Wherever you are, this holiday season please remember small businesses. Shop Local, Shop Small.
