Sew & Tell Friday #8

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving!!!  Anyone braving the crowds for Black Friday?  Not me.  Only did it once...hope not to repeat the experience.

On Monday, I finished the third coin quilt.  If you haven't already, you can click here to see how I solved my too short sashing issue.

This Friday as part of Sew & Tell Friday, Amy asked us to share some of our yummy Thanksgiving recipes.  Here is a family and friend favorite:

Sweet Potato Casserole - The Mississippi Cookbook

4 cups cooked sweet potatoes                                           1/2 teaspoon cloves
1 cup butter                                                                       1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups sugar                                                                      1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
4 eggs, slightly beaten                                                       1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Add butter, sugar, beaten eggs, spices, milk and 3/4 cup coconut to the cooked potatoes.  Save 1/4 cup coconut for topping.  Mix well.  Pour into greased 7 1/2 by 12 inch baking dish.  Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup coconut on top.  Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.  Serves 10.  NOTE:  RECIPE STATES BAKE FOR 35 MINUTES.....MY OVEN TAKES MUCH LONGER...SO ALLOW FOR EXTRA TIME.




I forgot to take a picture of the casserole until we started eating...oops.

  10. I made sweet potato casserole for the first time Thursday for DH. It was very sweet, more dessert then side dish for me. I made all sorts of things I don't normally make, DH had his mom e-mail me a bunch of recipes for a Southern Thanksgiving, here in Canada. I totally forgot to take pics though!
    I too have done Black Friday once, and will never do it again, we were visiting MIL and FIL in NC and went over to GA to do outlet malls.INSANE. Never again. Hope the rest of the weekend went well for you!
