I haven't had any time to craft lately. :( Things have been pretty busy. And when I did have a few hours to myself (or just to hang out at home), I found myself catching up on shows online rather than setting up my sewing machine. I've barely even read anything for the last few weeks, and if you know me, you know that's highly unusual.
With that said, our Thanksgiving dinner was a smash! We got together with a large group of friends at church, and served it up potluck style. I was asked to bring some sweet potatoes. I wasn't quite sure what to think about that, since I've never made them before. (They weren't a staple in my family's holiday dinners growing up). But my friend Marj came to the rescue with a fabulous recipe.
I thought it turned out really yummy. I even loved the left overs. :) Unfortunately, I forgot to snap a pic of the finished product because we were in such a hurry getting out the door. But here's a little pic of the spread (half finished), and my sweet potatoes are the third from the right in the bottom corner of the table. Honestly, I think I might make these again for Christmas!
Pecan Topped Sweet Potatoes
3 c. cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. melted butter
2 eggs, well beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 c. evaporated milk
Mix all together and put into a 2 quart baking dish*.
Combine and sprinkle over top:
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. flour
2 1/2 T. melted butter
1/2 c. pecan pieces
Bake at 350 for 24-30 minutes.
note from Katie: I increased the amounts slightly and put them in a 9x13 baking dish.
