Happy Thanksgiving!

I thought Id share one of my favorite recipes. Its called Sweet Potato Casserole - catchy isnt it :) It is something I make every year becuse it is oh so yummy! And for all your marshmallow haters out there (Steve) this has NO marshmallows, though there is absolutly nothing bad about them. Its like saying you hate big white fluffy clouds of delishousness. Sorry, I got a little off track. So here it is the wonderful side dish (dessert):

Sweet Potato Casserole
About 4 medium Sweet Potatoes/yams (I know theres a difference - use what you like :) boiled/rosted & mashed
3/4 Stick butter (melted)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 C. evaporated milk
1 C sugar

Mix all of the above ingredients together. Poor into your favorite casserole dish. Try to make sure once its pored into your dish it is no more than 3 inches high so that it will bake through, bake for 25 minutes at 400. Put topping on and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Topping
1 C crushed cornflakes
1/2 C chopped walnuts
1/2 C brown sugar
3/4 stick butter (melted)

Enjoy!

New Bib and Washcloth Designs

I was at the fabric store the other day and found a fat quarter set of Michael Miller's Dick and Jane series. I just love the retro inspired fabrics and reminds me of my childhood books. Books that were handed down to me that is :) Anyway, I had lots of fun making my new bibs and washcloths for my Etsy shop http://www.sweetdecember.etsy.com/
