This thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for! Our little Mason, the love and support of our wonderful family and friends, the gospel and a living prophet, the security of out jobs, and SO much more that this post could go on forever! I am also grateful that we had a wonderful thanksgiving meal at our in-laws house, and I didn't have to really cook or clean, thanks Tim and Sherri! I did bring a side dish however, yams. I never liked yams before, but one year my sister-in law, Alex, made some that were really yummy! So I called her up and got the recipe. I posted it for those who like to bake and try new food, but mainly for my mom, to show her that I do occasionally cook!
Praline Yams
29 oz. can of cut Yams, drained
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup coconut
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
Heat oven to 350 F. Place drained yams in ungreased casserole or baking dish. In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients, blend well. Sprinkle over yams. Bake at 350 for 35 to40 minutes or until bubbly.
7 servings.
My birthday was also on thanksgiving, which is always fun! It was nice to share my birthday with lots of family, and food! But I just really have to post the birthday cake that David and Mason made for me, I thought that it was so sweet!
