Sweet Potato Casserole Is there any meal that says Happy Thanksgiving more than a sweet potato casserole? We understand how hard it is to choose between the classic marshmallow sweet potato casserole or the savory pecan sweet potato casserole. But what is a family meal without compromise? This delicious recipe, courtesy of a A Sassy Spoon, incorporates both pecans and marshmallows for a sweet, yet savory treat. Ingredientssassy spoon

  • 6-8 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 4 tablespoons butter (half of one stick or 1/4 cup) softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup pecans (or walnuts) chopped, divided
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a casserole dish or deep baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Place the sweet potatoes in a pot with the cold water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are very tender. Drain. Let cool slightly.
  3. Transfer tender sweet potatoes to a large bowl. Add brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and 1/4 cup of pecans (save the rest for later). Mash sweet potato mixture with a potato masher until all is well combined.
  4. Add the sweet potato mixture evenly into the casserole dish. Top with remaining pecans and mini marshmallows. Bake in your Frigidaire oven for 15-20 minutes or until marshmallows are toasted. Remove from oven. Serve and enjoy!

Cranberry Sauce with Apple, Orange and Cinnamon This recipe takes a traditional, Thanksgiving staple and adds a little flavorful twist to it! This delicious recipe combines three of our favorite fruits and is an irresistible topping to your turkey. Thank you Homemade Hooplah for this fun take on Cranberry Sauce!Homemade HooplaIngredients

  • 12 oz cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed, light or dark
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 large apple peeled and diced to bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Turn your stove top to medium heat, and in a large saucepan, add cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, brown sugar, maple syrup, apples, cinnamon stick, and water.
  2. Bring sauce to a boil and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes. Sauce has finished cooking when cranberries have burst, giving the sauce it's trademark thick texture. Before removing from heat, taste test the sauce; if sauce is too tart, add 1 tablespoon of syrup or brown sugar until desired sweetness is reached.
  3. Remove sauce from heat and allow to cool. Sauce can either be served immediately or stored for a few days.
