Seems its that time of year. I have had several emails asking what is on my Thanksgiving menu and a recipe or two.

Here is what we will be serving for Thanksgiving

Turkey

Gravy

Cornbread stuffing

Mashed potatoes

Pecan glazed sweet potatoes

Succotash

Green bean casserole

Dinner rolls

Fruit salad

Hawaiian bread with spinach dip

White chocolate chunk pumpkin bread

Pumpkin pie

Pecan pie

Jr Mint pie

And here is a recipe for one of the dishes,

    Pecan glazed sweet potatoes

29 oz Sugary cut sweet potatoes, drained

1/3 cup chopped pecans

1/3 cup coconut

1/3 cup firmyly packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons flour

3 tablespoons melted butter

Heat oven to 350.

Place drained sweet potatoes in ungreased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.

In a small bowl combine the remaining ingredients. Mix well and sprinkle over sweet potatoes.

Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes.

Found this recipe on the back of a yam can many years ago. Still have the label that I saved!

Should I share my Jr Mint Pie recipe too? Leave a comment and maybe I will :)
