Just think how this guy must feel!
I can’t believe that we are almost to the end of November already.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For being only 3 days from Thanksgiving, I am surprisingly calm.
Could that be because I am not hosting our meal for 24 people but instead will be going to our daughter’s? Now we will all be bringing loads of foodstuff to this get together but there is a lot more pressure on the host and hostess of these large events.
Ah, the advantage of getting older…… your kids grow up and take turns having family dinners at their homes! The host daughter this year is a 4th grade teacher and poor thing has teacher/parent conferences tonight and tomorrow night. But she is confident that she will pull it all together since she has Wednesday off! I have no doubts, she is really pretty organized.
Gee, now that I think about it………
I think it is my turn next year. Oh, well, I’ll worry about that later. For now I will stay nice and calm!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been meaning to post this recipe ……………..it is so good.
It’s one of our staples that my oldest daughter makes every Thanksgiving.
Oh, and even all of the kids love this one.
Sweet Potato Puffs
2 40oz cans of sweet potatoes that have been drained.
3 egg yokes
1 1/2 teas. salt
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 cups crushed corn flakes
1/2 cup of melted butter
another 1/2 cup of melted butter set aside
1 bag of regular marshmallows
Foil muffin paper cups.
Mix together, sweet potatoes, egg yokes, 1/2 cup butter, salt and brown sugar.
Mix remaining melted butter with crushed cornflakes.
Now, mold the potato mixture around a marshmallow and then roll in the crumb mixture and place into the muffin foils.
Then use your thumb and make an indent into each puff.
This should make about 30 of these.
Put foils into a plastic container and freeze before baking. These can be assembled up to a week before needed.
When ready to bake
Preheat oven to 350*
Place frozen puffs in their foils into muffin tins. Do not thaw before baking.
Bake for about 30 minutes
These are so good, I think you will like them. I always thought that crushed pecans would be so good added to the crumbs but my son-in-law is deathly allergic to nuts so we avoid those.

I also just wanted to say that I have been enjoying so many blogs this season with all of your finds, re-dos, recipes and creations.
I, like so many of you plan to “Bring on Christmas” at the end of the week.
May you all have a wonderful
“Thankful” Thanksgiving!
See you again soon!
Linda
