A Simple Reminder of Gratitude (๐Ÿ’›and a Family Favorite Recipe!)


Hi friend,

My grandsons are coming to visit us for the weekend, so I probably won't be online much the next couple days. So I wanted to send you this email before they get here to say hi๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹

Every year around this time, I start thinking about Thanksgiving and my favorite sweet potato casserole, the one thatโ€™s earned a permanent spot on our Thanksgiving table. ๐Ÿ 

Is it a side dish? Or is it dessert?

I grew up with the marshmallow version, and I loved that slightly burnt marshmallow goodness, but when I hosted for the first time years ago, I tried something new with a pecan topping.

To my surprise, it quickly became everyoneโ€™s favorite (even my momโ€™s!).

Itโ€™s funny how new traditions form and how God uses even simple things like food and family gatherings to remind us of His goodness. This recipe always makes me pause and thank Him for how far Heโ€™s brought me and for the people I get to share life with. ๐Ÿ’›

You can find the recipe here if youโ€™d like to add it to your own Thanksgiving menu:

And if you happen to have leftovers (rare, but it happens), theyโ€™re pretty amazing with a cup of coffee the next morning.

If you make this recipe, Iโ€™d love to hear how it turned out! Leave a comment below or tag me on social media and donโ€™t forget to pin it or print it so you can find it easily next Thanksgiving.
