Hi,

Here are a couple that always disappear at our holiday meals.

 

SWEET POTATO SOUFFLE

1 large can of yams (20 ozs.)      1-1/2 t. cinnamon

1 stick oleo                              2 eggs

2/3 can evaporated milk              1 cup sugar

Beat all together with mixer until fluffy and add more milk if necessary. Pour mixture

into a 3 qt. buttered (or sprayed) casserole dish and top with crumbled topping.

Bake 325 degrees till bubbling and brown approximately 60 mins.

TOPPING

1 cup brown sugar            1/3 cup oleo, melted

1/2 cup flour                    1-1/2 t. cinnamon

1 cup nuts, chopped

 

 

POPCORN CAKE

1 pound M & M's candies            1/2 cup oleo

1 pound unsalted peanuts           2/3 cup popcorn

1 pound miniature marshmallows

Pop corn and try to remove as many unpopped kernels as possible. Place in a very

large bowl and set aside. Melt oleo and marshmallows over medium heat, stirring

constantly - DO NOT BOIL!  Add peanuts. Pour hot mixture over popcorn; stir thoroughly. Add M & M's; mix well. Press into buttered tube pan and refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove from pan and slice with very sharp knife.

Note: This may also be pressed into a 9"x13" pan. Serrated knife works well.

 

ENJOY!! AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Pierogies.  Our families are from Eastern Europe and it just wouldn't be Christmas without them.


...because nice matters!

My special carrot cake, my apple harvest cheesecake for desserts.

 

My corn bread casserole is always the first to disappear, along with a tray of deviled eggs.

Applesauce and Sausage Stuffing is more popular than the bird so I make more of that which is always gone by the end of dinner and

 

 I also make a Whole Cranberry/Orange Sauce which goes great with the Bird.

No, Shirlee there is not a more perfect food in my opinion.  I grew up eating those and just love them.  I have sent you the recipe.
