Yesterday was supposed to be a Christmas shopping day, but hubby and I spent the vast majority of our Sunday dealing with tire issues. Can't they just make a tire that is incapable of getting a nail in it?! Annoying!!
Also, regarding the sweet potatoes... I SO GREATLY appreciate all of your suggestions and recipes! They all sound so wonderful! What I have decided to do is kinda combine all of your ideas into one recipe. They were generally similar..... but I am NOT doing marshmallows, I AM doing pecans, and I AM using brown sugar instead of white. Hopefully they will turn out well. I'll take a picture :)
I am thrilled because the office is closed Thursday and Friday. Three day work week for me!!
Talk to Me: What are you doing/ where are you going for Thanksgiving?

I am also going to be making Sweet Potatoes for Thanksgiving. THey are so good! We are going to Dallas and Arlington for Tuesday-Sunday. Have a good holiday!
I am experimenting with sweet potatoes too so I am curious to swap the recipes! We are doing a little bit of Thanksgiving here and a little bit in Austin!
We're coming to visit your sweet SELF!! oh and that golf-crazed husband of yours as well!!! LOVE YOU!!!!
GIRL! I just realized I never left you that Maple-Brown Sugar Mashed Potato recipe. I'll post it just so you have another to add to your collection. Maybe for next year. ;)
5 sweet potatoes, peeled and chunked
3/4 cup milk
2/3 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 oz 100% maple sugar
2 TB salt
Boil sweet potatoes in a large pot of water for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
In an electric mixer, blench sweet potato and milk, adding a little milk at a time.
Add butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and combined.
Add salt (until it reaches desired flavor).
Serve immediately.
(If I were you, I'd still sprink a mixture of brown sugar and pecan pieces... cuz that's just good).
Happy Thanksgiving!
