Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Delights

On Thanksgiving Day we're thankful for
Our blessings all year through,
For family we dearly love,
For good friends, old and new.

For sun to light and warm our days,
For stars that glow at night,
For trees of green and skies of blue,
And puffy clouds of white.

We're grateful for our eyes that see
The beauty all around,
For arms to hug, and legs to walk,
And ears to hear each sound.

The list of all we're grateful for
Would fill a great big book;
Our thankful hearts find new delights
Everywhere we look!

I made a necklace for my Dollie and Me doll.

Here she is, ready for Thanksgiving.

I've included a few of our favorite recipes:

Cornbread Stuffing

1/8 cup butter
1/4 medium onion, chopped
1 medium leek, white part only, finely chopped
1 or 2 green onions, white part and 1 inch green, chopped
1/2 large clove garlic
1 celery stalk, chopped
8 oz cornbread stuffing mix
1/8 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 can (14 oz) vegetable broth

In the microwave heat butter until melted.  Saute onion, leek, green onions and garlic until golden, add celery.  Microwave until tender.  In baking pan combine dressing mix, vegetables, parsley and pecans.  Pour in the veggie broth.  Mix lightly.  Baked, covered, for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Sweet Potatoes

1-1/2 cups cooked sweet potatoes
1 egg
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup milk

Mix together and pour into baking dish.  Top with topping.

Topping:

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup pecan pieces

Bake at 300 degrees for about 25 minutes.  Be careful-topping burns easily.

Enjoy!

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
