Sweet Potato Casserole..."Dont tell mom, but this is the best I've ever had."

With the holidays being right around the corner I decided to let you in on my little secret...

THE BEST TASTING Sweet Potato CASSEROLE EVER!
Serves 8

3 cups sweet potato (mashed) 1 cup sugar 14 cup evaporated milk 2 beaten eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup butter (cubed)

1 cup coconut 1 cup nuts (chopped) ...We have family with nut allergies so I do it without 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup softened butter 1/2 cup flour

1	Preheat oven to 300º.
2	Peel and cube sweet potatoes. Boil until tender, then mash.
3	Add next 6 ingredients and mix with an electric mixer. Pour into greased 8x8 baking dish.
4	Mix topping ingredients and crumble on top of potato mixture.
5	Bake 30 minutes.

Everyone at Thanksgiving said "Keep THAT recipe"  "Don't tell my mom, but this is the best I've ever had". Truly, it's wonderful. I make it  a day ahead, (well actually my husband does!) then just take it out of the fridge and bake it about 5 minutes longer.

It's delicious!


Oh and one more thing...

I used to hate kid's tables when I was a kid.
I wanted to be with the grown ups, I mean that's where the good conversations where and also the good food.
I always think you should serve the kids the same as you serve the adults. Don't do the pizza and hot dog thing, give them real food.Anyway, I came across this kid's table for Country Living.
You just cover the surface with kraft paper and set out little pots of crayon to tic-tac-toe.
Stamp  paper for place cards and use a marker to make place settings.
And the best thing is the cleanup after, just throw away the tablecloth.
Have a fab weekend darlings.
