Easy Thanksgiving Dish, that you can take...

So Thanksgiving is my mom's holiday. Meaning every year she hosts this one for our family. I do Christmas Eve and My Aunt Lisa does Easter.

Anyway this is a super easy dish, that you make in your crock pot so you don't have to worry about reheating it in someone elses oven. Just make bring, plug in when you get there. :)

8 large sweet potato or yams. Depends on where you live as to what you call them.
chop up in small chunks. Put in crock pot on low and cook alllllllll day...

As the day progresses check them, as the get softer start to mash, I just use a good ol' fashion hand masher.

Once they are all mashed, throw in brown sugar and maple syrup to taste. You can make these as sweet as you like. You can also add cinnamon or cloves. This is such a flexible recipe.

Call it done!
You can make the day before as well. Keep in crock pot on warm, the house will smell delicious and you will thoroughly enjoy them!

From My Bella Cucina to Yours!!
Blessings~~

Cool Temps = Warm Meals

  One of my favorite things to do on a cold crisp day is cooking and baking. Something about the smell of onions, carrots, and celery sauteing up brings a sense of home. And remind me powerfully of my grandmother. The memories of being in her home and feeling her love are all tied to food, where she spent the bulk of her time. Preparing nourishing meals for her family.  When we take the time to prepare meals, we show love to our family. Tonight, I made a Potatoe, Bacon, Cheddar, and Good Ol' Fashion Chicken Noodle.

Hubby was in an accident....

Proverbs 31 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. The blaring ring of the phone woke me on Tuesday morning... 7:15am... I knew as soon as I looked at the clock, something was wrong. No one calls here that early.. I quickly peel a child out of my arms and trying to not wake her, before the phone does. She had a restless night. "hello" in a whisper.. as I was still in my bedroom. Walking out of my room, I hear my darling hubbys nervous voice, "I was in an accident" Me, "Are you ok"... Him, "yes" Me" do you need me to come?" Him, "no, I'll call you" He explained what happened. His company truck was pretty messed up, and the air bags went off. He said he had some airbag burn, felt ok, just stressed. Next call I got was from him in the police car, the officer was kind enough to drop him off at work. The convers

Home Love Hammock Style

This lovely gift was a 21st wedding anniversary present from my lovely husband.  I absolutely love this thing.. For many reasons...  My hammock brings me peace.   Why??  Because I love to be outside and be in nature.   So everyday weather and schedule permitting I try and get on my hammock.  It's bring me closer to my children.  They will see me out there and come out and lay with me on it.  From my 17 year old on down to my 5 year old.  My 17 year old and I have had the best chats just laying and swinging on that thing.  My youngest daughters 13, and soon to be 10 will bring their books out and  just veg and read with me.  My 5 year old will crawl up on that and just snuggle and chat with me, eventually giving way to the peacefulness of outside and fall asleep in my arms. My grandbabies will cuddle with grammy  and let me read or just hold them.  I have even had my best girlfriends come over and join me on that thing and we are able to relax and fr
