The holidays are always filled with family and celebrations over some good food. I am use to spending this time of year in Memphis, TN with my large family exchanging gifts and catching up on old times. This year was spent at my home in Virginia with my fiance', Trent, and my 14 month old son, Cris. Initially I wasn't going to do anything at all, but last night I decided to head to Walmart before they close to pickup a few items to create my very own Christmas Dinner. So what's on the menu? Roasted Cornish Hens, wild rice, brussel sprouts, and a sweet potato mash. I have included the recipe for the mash as my weekly recipe. Hope you all enjoy and share your thoughts about the holidays and your favorite seasonal meals.
Sweet Potato Mash- serves 4
1 1/2 lbs Sweet Potato- peeled, diced
1/2 cup Milk
2 T Butter
1/3 cup Brown sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
Place diced sweet potato in a pot and cover with water.
Boil for 35 minutes or until very tender.
Drain water.
Add milk and butter and whisk until smooth. (A few chunks are okay. I like texture)
Add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir in.
Serve and enjoy.
This recipe is not as sweet as your normal candied yams you would eat, but it is equally delicious and with substitutes for the sugar and butter, like honey, can be a quicker and healthier option.
