Interesting: So far turkey & stuffing are neck & neck at 19.

I like turkey, but I love ham...and I've always had ham at Thanksgiving, along with the bird. I used to make this baked peachy sweet potato side dish, it was amazing. Maybe I'll make it for Christmas!

Ohhh, this sounds yummy! Care to share the recipe? Peaches & sweet potatoes are two of my favorite foods!

That cranberry relish? I make that, but with pineapple and granny smith apple, still with some sugar, a few swirls in the cuisinart, and YUM! I do drain a lot of the pineapple juice. Never had it with orange...

Sweet Potatoes!

So how do you make sweet potatoes over there?

I get some very small potatoes, often in a glass, already peeled. I put very little butter on a pan and lots of sugar. When that is melted, I pour the drained potatoes on and let them suck up the now brown sugar/caramel?

What people usually do wrong, is to put too much butter on - then the sugar won't stick.

What we call "sweet potatoes" over here are called yams in much of the world. They are a different kind of potato, not regular white potatoes made sweet. And funny enough, I am allergic to yams/sweet potatoes, but not regular potatoes, that's how different they are!

I have no idea where I even got it originally! I'll see if I can find one...I know it had brown sugar and butter...mmmm....

Green bean casserole, from scratch, is awesome!

We usually do something unusual with an orange veggie. This year was carrot and cranberries; last year was a sweet potato casserole. Our turkey came out really good this year; we brined it overnight, then roasted it. Yummy!
