Sweet Potato Souffle

INGREDIENTS
3 cups mashed sweet potatoes (or you can use canned ones-YUMMY still)
3/4 cup white sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1 cup flaked coconut
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup melted butter


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with the white sugar, soft butter or margarine, beaten eggs, vanilla and milk. Spoon into a 2 quart oven proof baking dish.

Combine the coconut, flour, brown sugar, chopped nuts and melted butter. Sprinkle over the top of the sweet potatoes.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 35 minutes.

*NOTE* i usually take the nuts out of the topping because I am allergic to all nuts except peanuts and almonds for some reason. It tastes great anyway.

this is perfect because i'm bored at work AND i happened to bring in my cookbook today for something

this is my FAVORITE thanksgiving recipe for candied yams.

1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. packed dark brown sugar
1/2 c. quick cooking oats
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 stick butter or margarine, cut into small chunks
2 (17 oz) cans yams, drained
2 c. fresh cranberries (about 1 bag)
1 bar miniature marshmallows.

Pre-heat over to 350

combine flour, brown sugar, oats and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in butter until the micture is coarse and crumbly. Toss 1 cup of the crumb mixture with the cans of yams and cranberries. Top mixture with remaining crumbs. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.

Remove yams from the oven and set oven to broil. Top yams with a layer of marshmellow and return to oven. Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until marshmallows have puffed up and become golden brown.

not very turkey day, but Poles require soup before every meal... so next time:

french onion soup

4 very large onion-sliced thin
olive oil
salt
water
gruyere
stale french bread, sliced

fry the onions in oil with about 1 T salt slowly on low-med heat in an 8 liter (or 8 qt) pot. Stir every 3-5 min or so. Avoid charring edges... if it's starting, turn down the heat and stir more often. Onions will gradually shrink up and turn a caramelized brown over a period of 30-45 minutes. You want golden bits to stick to the pot, but avoid having them burn

Add about 3L (3 qts) water, and scrape off all the bits from the pan. Raise the heat to med, and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste and let perk on the stove for another 20 min.

trim the rind from the cheese, and grate in the food processor. Toast the bread lightly.

Put the bread and cheese in the bottom of the individual bowls, and ladel the soup on top.... bon appetit

I love all these recipes girls!!!! yum!!!

Thank you Soo Much Ladies.
