Sweet Potato & Cranberry Bake and Happy Thanksgiving!
















Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving! I'm
going to post tomorrow's post today
and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!:0)

Sweet Potato & Cranberry Bake hmmm
sounds delish! Have you ever had it? 
Wanna try it? Here is the recipe! Enjoy!

Sweet Potato & Cranberry Bake

¨ 18 oz Can Sweet potatoes, drained
¨ 8 1/2 oz Can crushed pineapple,
¨ Drained
¨ 1 large Egg
¨ 2 tablespoon Butter, melted
¨ 1/2 teaspoon Salt
¨ Dash Pepper
¨ 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
¨ 1/2 cup canned whole cranberry sauce
¨ Additional whole cranberry sauce, for garnish
Whip together the sweet potatoes, crushed pineapple. Add the egg and butter, spices and mix
well. Gently swirl in the 1/2 cup of canned whole cranberry sauce. Spoon into 8 greased
ramekins. Top each with one tablespoon of the remaining whole cranberry sauce. Bake at 350 degrees
for 40 minutes.


Tip:

Buy when plentiful. Even though we can get most
fruits and vegetables year- round, they are at the best
prices and quality at the peak of harvest when they are
most plentiful. If there is a farmer's market nearby, it is 
well worth the trip to buy fresh produce, often directly 
from the growers.
