But one day my mom assured me of this, she said, "Lisa I get pleasure from seeing you and the family enjoying meals and having parties like we have always done. I want you all to enjoy eating and living."

I am also going to begin a lot of Holiday cooking and I will share my favorite recipes.
This is my mom's FAMOUS, most delicious, sweet potato casserole.... ( with a few tweaks from me)
Sweet Potato Casserole with Glazed Pecan Topping
4 cups cooked and slightly mashed sweet potatoes- Use fresh sweet potatoes
1 c. sugar
½ tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten slightly
¼ c. butter, melted (½ stick)
½ c. whole milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Glazed Pecan Topping:
1 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. flour
1 c. coarsely chopped pecans
3 TBSP. melted butter
In large bowl, mix sweet potatoes, sugar, salt, eggs, butter, milk and vanilla on low speed of a mixer until completely blended. I do not whip this mixture.
Place topping ingredients in a medium bowl and mix with wooden spoon until combined. Mixture will be crumbly.
Spray a medium sized casserole dish with non-stick spray. Fill with your sweet potato mixture then add you pecan mixture to the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 min. until topping is slightly browned and casserole is a little bubbly.
Note~ I cook my sweet potatoes at 400 degrees for about 50-1 hour, cool and peel them for use in the casserole. It is usually takes about 6 medium sized sweet potatoes to make 4 cups.
