Favorites on the First: Thanksgiving Recipes!

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by 

for the monthly linky party

Favorites on the First 

Are you ready
to talk about food?

It's November,
and before you know it, it will be time to
start thinking about Turkey Day.

So let's think about our 

THANKSGIVING
R     E     C     I     P     E    S

When I decided on this theme,

I knew that I would have to

 include two recipes.

There is no way

I could choose 

one of these 
over the other ... 

they are both

EQUALLY LOVED

by our family and friends

and consequently 

their families and friends too.

You may already know of them.
They are not  ancient family secret recipes!

The first  came from

my friend, Sandy,

 a long-time friend and the first person

who ever got me to give a 

sweet potato

a second chance.

(My family served sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving ---
 the common recipe with toasted marshmallows on top, 

and I'm sorry... but at a very early age, just one bite 
and I knew it was not for me.)

However...

 this recipe may just change your mind

if you've had the same experience.

Pecan Streusel-Topped Sweet Potatoes

This version of sweet potatoes

is so yummy -- it's kind of like

what happens when sweet potatoes

and a pecan pies get married.
MMmmmmMMmmmmMM

PECAN STRUESEL-TOPPED SWEET POTATOES

2   16 oz. cans of drained sweet potatoes
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, scrambled

__________________________

Ingredients for Topping:

1 cup chopped pecans

into a large buttered shallow baking dish.

over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes uncovered.

Now, the next recipe

came from my sweet mother-in-law, Joyce. 
It is one of my children's 

all-time favorites and both of these recipes

are a mainstay at Thanksgiving 
and Christmas dinners. 

It's a popular recipe

and possibly many of you have tried it?

and rich and tasty...
