10 Days of Thanksgiving Recipes — Day 8
It’s appetizer day again today….seems that’s all we eat! We have 2 recipes today, both of which are ideal for year round use. The 1st one is Scallops Sauce Verte, which is more of a salad than an appetizer and it will make a great addition to your Thanksgiving table. They also …make a great luncheon salad on hot and humid summer days when you just don’t feel like cooking. The other is Parmesan Spinach Balls which are ideal as little ‘candy poppers’ as you’re hanging around the kitchen watching everyone else cook! They are also great to make ahead, freeze and pop in the oven when someone pops over and you want a quick snack.

10 Days of Thanksgiving Recipes — Day 7: Mashed (sort of) Baked Sweet Potatoes
People either love ‘em or HATE ‘em! We love ‘em and we think we’ve found the best way to prepare them with not much prep or work at all. We HATE boiled potatoes that are mashed….they lose all their flavor and end up like mush. We HATE the… ‘candied’ style because they just a bit too over the edge sweet and gooey! Baking the potatoes first and then ‘mashing’ them maintains a nice ‘chunky’ consistency and the pineapple, maple syrup, and pecans add a little Caribbean flavor to them.

We’ll switch gears today and give you a recipe for a scrumptious Sweet Potato Cloverleaf Roll. This is a nice variation on the traditional cloverleaf roll that adds those special Autumnal flavors of sweet potato and nutmeg. Enjoy!

  One more appetizer…..Festive Italian Sausage Cups. These are DANGEROUS!! While you’re hanging around having a few Thanksgiving morning cocktails….put these in dishes everywhere and watch everybody pop them in their mouths like candy! Beware…they are addictive! If you want to stay with a seafood theme……substitute crabmeat for the sausage.     Italian Sausage Cups 1
