Thanksgiving? Without sweet potatoes? <\/strong>Perish the thought!!!
\nFor me, Sweet Potatoes are a Thanksgiving MUST!<\/strong>
\nMy sweet potato roots go back to my childhood when my mother whipped up the “marshmallow and pineapple casserole thing” each and every Thanksgiving. I loved it! Especially when the marshmallows burnt just a tad. Oh My!
\nI snuck into the kitchen on more than one Thanksgiving, and I picked off those burnt babies. I pleaded “innocent” while covered in white goo. Even though I made a mess of the dish, my mother was pleased that I liked it! She was and still is a softy! Oh, sorry, I digress.
\nAs you can see, it’s not just the wonderful taste of sweet potatoes, or the nutritional value that entice me, bit rather it’s the tradition, the heart hook, the link to mother and family.
\nHowever, the casserole of my youth is definitely a tad too rich for my current set of taste buds and definitely NOT an Our Lady of Weight Loss approved item.
\nI have, however, come up with an even better, more delicious Sweet Potato Dish. Truly!!! Fantastic! A 5 YUM Dish!
\nSweet Potato Whip It<\/strong>
\nServes 8
\nIngredients: <\/strong>
\n6 medium potatoes
\n3 tablespoons of butter (yes, butter – but 3 tablespoons for 8 people; not a tragedy)
\n1\/2 cup of 1% or 2% milk (hey, go wild, it’s Thanksgiving)
\n4 tablespoons of agave nectar
\n1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
\nsalt to taste
\nDirections:<\/strong>
\nBring big pot of water to boil.
\nToss in sweet potatoes. Carefully, please!
\nBoil till soft (about 15 minutes).
\nDrain water, leaving potatoes in pot. Using hand-mixer, beat potatoes with butter, milk until smooth, then add the agave, mustard and salt. Serve immediately.
\nEnjoy!
\nWhat’s your favorite Thanksgiving recipe? Please share!!!
\nSpread the word … NOT the icing!
