thanksgiving recipes

Apologies for not posting on here in such a long time! Can we just say I've been a little busy with life? Yes, we are finally in the house! We officially moved in on November 11th and are still in the process of getting settled. It's crazy!

Sooner or later I'm going to post a bunch of new pictures but until then, you'll have to settle with my list of thanksgiving recipes ha!

We had our families over to the house for Thanksgiving lunch! It was a packed house. I love having a packed house... but I find that I spend most of my time being to preoccupied with things to get to sit down and enjoy it. Anyhoot, here's the list & recipes of what I cooked for t-day:

Green bean bundles - This is really super easy to make! The only thing I did differently was use a broiler pan. It takes about 30 minutes to cook depending on how thick your bacon is.

Cheddar Biscuits with Garlic Butter Glaze - These are super yummy! I found that the dough was ridiculously sticky and hard to form into balls, but I probably screwed something up along the way. They still tasted good, so that's all that matters, right?

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls - That's right, made from SCRATCH. I really impressed myself with this one. Mainly because I've never really made a dough or anything of that nature. Let me tell you, these babies ROCK! I love PW!!!!! Sidenote... don't use wax paper to roll your dough. Even though I put lots of flour on the paper, the dough still stuck to it and it was miserable trying to roll it. When I made the second batch, I just rolled the dough directly on the granite countertops (covered in flour of course). So much easier! P.S. PW wasn't kidding when she said this could feed your entire neighborhood. It made 8 batches of 6 cinnamon rolls LOL!

While I didn't actually cook this on t-day, I did make it for our work t-day lunch. Scrum-diddily-umptious:

Sweet Potato Casserole:

3 cups sweet potatoes (cooked and mashed). I used 5-6 potatoes. It really just depends on how many people you are cooking for
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1/2 tsp cinnamon

topping:
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 cup pecans (chopped)

Casserole: Blend all ingredients together and put in pan.
Topping: Blend all ingredients and pour on top of casserole.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

It's just that simple folks!
