Sugar & Spice Makes a Festive Holiday Dish
2011 has come and gone so quickly. As I prepare my Christmas feast, I am thinking about all of the things that I am thankful for this year. My Family, My Job and all My Co-Workers, Those Glorious Sweet Potatoes (of course), and all of the farmers and markets that grow and sell them. It really is wonderful to have such an abundant supply of fresh produce available thanks to all of their hard work.
After you cook this week's awesome recipes, you may find yourself heading to the market as well. Our first recipe, Sweet Potato Coconut Souffle is sure to win over all of your holiday guests. Even the most devout veggie hater will come to the orange side when they taste this decadent side dish. You may have to trick them into tasting it, or even force them, then they will be a sweet potato fan for life. Then they will ask for leftovers to take home, they will beg for your recipe, they will bring friends to taste the delight, they call to make sure you are serving it on New Year's Day, then it begins anew. Be ready to make this tasty souffle again... and again.
And if you need a break during this busy time, give our second recipe a try. It is a no-muss, no-fuss, crockpot recipe that is a delicious as it is fast and easy.

Sounds great! But how do I get 1/3 of an egg?
Oops. That was in the original recipe and it confused me too. Eggs are not something that divide easily into parts. LOL I used two eggs and it worked great. I will update the recipe as well. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Lovely!

I Love anything sweet potato, I make them a couple of time each week. It bugs me that many people just make them for the holiday meals. They are delicious, so I say have them all year long!
