My Favorite Thanksgiving Recipes
Since it is Thanksgiving week, I wanted to share a couple of my
favorite recipes that we make every year with my family. Both of my parents
cook, but Thanksgiving belonged – still does belong – to my mom. Her family
grew up in Kentucky so a lot of our Thanksgiving dishes have Southern roots. It
is certainly the case with these recipes.
Ingredients:
3 cups mashed sweet potato
1cup sugar
½ cup milk
1/3 cut butter softened
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
Blend everything together until it is smooth and creamy. Pour
into a oven safe baking dish.
Topping:
1 cup chopped nuts (Use pecans or almonds. I prefer pecans.)
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup melted butter
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the melted butter and
stir until it is moist. If it’s too runny or goopy add a little flour to
thicken. Crumble the mixture in chunks on top so it covers the entire surface.
Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes
Smashed Potatoes
What is Thanksgiving without mashed potatoes? We make these in
my house every year, and they are delicious!
Ingredients:
1 -1½ lbs. of Yukon Gold potatoes (unpeeled)
½ tsp. of salt
4 Tbsp. heavy cream
2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. milk
Salt & Pepper
Boil potatoes in a large pot, with a little bit of salt. Cook
for about 15-20 minutes until you can poke them easily with a fork.
Drain water and let the potatoes sit for a few minutes. Peel the
potatoes, leaving some of the skin on as you go. Cut up potatoes and put them
in a large bowl. Add the butter, milk and cream and beat until everything is
smooth. Use salt and pepper to taste.
For Your Sweet Tooth
Ingredients:
½ cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
½ cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
¾ cup chocolate chips
¾ cup nuts (walnuts or pecans)
9 inch unbaked pie crust or shell
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into the pie shell.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the top is browned. DEVOUR!
Hope your holiday table delicious!
