IT'S TURKEY DAY!

OK, so today is Thanksgiving. When I think about it, I have a lot to be thankful for. I have 4 healthy kids, still have a job, a good husband, a nice place to live, lots of siblings to keep the SOAP OPERA in me satisfied, lots of freinds and extended family . . . . . . and lots of memories of loved ones who have passed. Everyone should look into their own lives and think about all the things you are thankful for!!
OK, I am going to post my favorite Sweet Potato recipe here today. Although this recipe calls for you to whip the potatoes, I never have, so I don't know what it woudl be like that way. I peel and chop my potatoes and just use them that way. They are SO good!!!!!!
I have my turkey in the oven and later on all the kids are coming over for a family photo which I will post later on.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy Turkey Day - dont' eat too much!
