"Mornin Glories"
Grab you a rocker and come sit a spell
and lets chat.
This week is "The week"....the week for food preparation out the kazoo!!
Sweet potatoes are selling here for 15 cents a pound.
Let me tell you I am stocking up on them.
Just wrap them in newspaper and place them in a dark area.
They will last a long time.
We love them baked...
sliced thinly..and fried with some sugar sprinkled on them.
And of course sweet potato casserole.
I recently saw on PBS a chef making pumpkin pie
with a cup of cooked sweet potatoes in it. He
said it was his best seller.
Here is what our menu looks like:
Roast Turkey
Cornbread dressing
Cheesy Grits
Fresh Green Beans with Southern touches
Asparagus
Sweet Potato Casseroles
Potato Casserole
Homemade yeast rolls
Fruit salad
Deviled Eggs
Desserts
Apple Pie
Pecan pie
Pumpkin Spice Delight
What does your menu look like?
Do you bake, fry or smoke your turkey?

ReplyDeleteHi, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteBusy woking on swaps and housecleaning. Swaps more fun:)
Sweet potato pie is VERY popular here - made just like pumpkin pie but using mashed sweet potatoes instead of the canned pumpkin. One year I had both but couldn't really tell much difference myself.
Lucky me, one of our daughters is "doing" Thanksgiving Dinner this year, but we'll all take something. We'll have Christmas Day dinner here.
So, for Thanksgiving, we like: Roast turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy, sweet potato casserole, cornbread & herb stuffing, green beans, fruit salad,rolls, and pie, of course! I saw one of the stores has pumpkin ice cream & I thought that might be good as an ice cream pie with a gingersnap crust. Will see about that!Also traditional pumpkin & pecan pies.
Working on a 50th birthday surprise party for a friend on Sat. so a busy week here.
This is a fun site, so give it time. This is such a busy time of year - might take off more in the new year.

Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThe turkey is in the fridge and today I get all of the ingredients for everything else out....so I can see what I might still need! My sweet potatoe casserole is form my Mom....she was a very BASIC cook, but I loved it and so does my family. It is pretty easy You take a can of sweet potatoes and you drain them and you add a mixture of brown sugar ( lots) and butter and you let them cook a long time in a 375 degree oven! It glazes them and makes a great sauce for my son's turkey and taters! He doesn't care for gravy.....:) I so love this spot....I am struggling a bit now as things have changed 180 degrees again!!!! I love your blogs....they feel like a warm hug! :):)
