K.I.S.S. Sweet potato casserole

I guess one of the reasons my Mom's food was so delicious was because she always kept things simple....

One of the most popular items on our family's Thanksgiving menu is the Sweet Potato Casserole. My sister has to make 2 of them just to have enough! It's is delicious, cheap, and oh, so easy to make!

No rise Beer Bread...Super Easy!

As promised, Here is the recipe for the Beer Bread. The recipe uses no yeast, hence the beer. You can whip this up in 5 minutes. The cook time is an hour and you can slice it while it is still warm.

Thanksgiving 3 week checklist

Don't panic, but 3 weeks from today, most of you will be putting Thanksgiving dinner on the table :)

Here are some things you should be looking for sales on that you can buy ahead of time:

• Turkey 
• Cheese 
• Butter 
• Ham 
• Baking Supplies (Sugar, Flour) 
• Day old bread you can freeze for stuffing 
• Plastic Plates/Cups 
• Soda 
• Canned soup for casseroles 
• Frozen Pie Crust 
• Frozen Roll Dough 
• Nuts 
• Table Decorations 

Make your guest list and write out your full menu. If your guests are pitching in by bringing some of the food, then you can just cross those items off your master shopping list.

Now is also a good time to start your deep cleaning. It will make things much easier when things start getting crazy!
