Awesome Sweet Potato Casserole
Diane Thornton gave me this awesome sweet potato casserole recipe in the late 1980s in Jackson, Mississippi. I have made it each year since, and when I bring it to gatherings, people rave about it, so I bring it year after year. Some people say it's more like a dessert than a side dish. All I know is it's a standby for me and always gets a nod.
Pumpkin Sufganiot with Cranberry Jelly
I wanted to combine Thanksgiving flavors for a Hanukkah doughnut. This dough is very forgiving, and will last in the fridge, well-wrapped, for 3 days. That makes it easy to break up the recipe into batches and fry the doughnuts when it's convenient for you. This makes a great holiday breakfast or dessert! Makes about two and a half dozen, depending on your cutters.
Best Strawberry Daiquiri
It's officially happy hour with these easy strawberry daiquiris made with either frozen or fresh, sweet, in-season strawberries if you can find them. A little citrus juice really kicks the strawberry flavor up a notch and a bit of lemon-lime soda adds a hint of effervescence. Double or triple this recipe for a party and you'll never buy daiquiri mixes or canned, ready-made daiquiris again. Leave out the rum for a batch of the best strawberry-citrus mocktails around!
