I started a new blog tonight with recipes. I'm hoping to put new recipes up frequently, and started off with 'Sweet Potato Casserole' - a dish more like a dessert than a vegetable.

And I added da Queen's link as a way to 'feed your funny bone.'

I intend to add recipes from family and friends, too.

Here's the link:

Looks good Donna!
My family loves sweet potatoes and I'm always looking for new ways to serve them!

I've got some new ones up at my site too, if anyone's interested!

Robin, do you mind if I put your link up?

I would be honored if you'd put my link up.
Thank you!
I'll add your blog to my recomemended sites list too!

SWEET POTATO PLEASURE

Take 4 to 6 nice size sweet potatoes, pop into a 350* oven for 30 minutes. When cooked through let cool and then peel. In a medium bowl mash the sweet potatoes well, add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 stick of butter....mix completely, then set aside.
In another bowl place a cup of sugar and cup of fresh coconut, take about four tablespoons of the potato mixture (baseball size) and begin rolling into a ball inserting a regular marshmellow inside the ball. Once the ball is formed, roll it into the coconut/sugar mixture coating it completely. Place all the balls on a cookie sheet. Right before you are ready to serve your meal, pop them into the oven for about 10 minutes at 300* you want to heat them but not enough for the marshmellow to melt or the potato will break apart. Remove, let cool a moment and place on nice platter and serve....Something different to do with those sweet potatoes....

Oh, man! That sounds wonderful, too!

I added a new recipe today.

Donna,
Love your new recipe blog! If there's anybody who needs to read one, its moi...

I don't know about other women here, but I don't cook, hardly ever... but I absolutely LOVE reading recipes. How twisted is that?

Help!!!!!
Has any one tried the Kraft Marshmellow Fudge Recipe?
I have tried it twice, and I can't get the "gritty" texture from the sugar out of the fudge.
It says the temp should be 234F, and that's what I've done both times.
Do I need to cook longer.
I used to make this recipe years ago, and it turned out so nice a smooth. None of that gritty stuff from the sugar.
I've stirred the darn stuff until my arms are about to break off.
I want to get this recipe right because it tastes so good!!!!! Just the texture stinks.
Any help out there?
Lynne
