Here's mine (you didn't ask for low fat, did you?) :)

Praline Sweet Potatoes

2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp vanilla
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 pound butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 1/4 cups chopped pecans

1. Butter a 2 quart casserole dish. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Combine sweet potatoes, sugar, vanilla, eggs, and cream. Blend well, spread in dish.

3. Prepare topping by combining butter, brown sugar, flour, and pecans. Mix until crumbly and sprinkle over potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes.

Cornucopia

3 11-ounce packages of refrigerator breadsticks (the kind that come in a can)
1 egg
1 Tbsp water
Non-stick Spray
Tin Foil


1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray large cookie sheet with non-stick spray.

2. Make cornucopia shape out of tin foil. Stuff wiht balls of foil so the shape is solid. Spray outside of foil with non-stick spray.

3. Beat egg & water to make glaze. Wrap breadsticks in one layer around foil cone, connect ends with glaze.

4. When the shape is covered, brush the entire thing with glaze.

5. Bake 45 minutes until dark brown.

6. Remove foil when completely cooled.

We've never eaten this, but it does make an interesting centerpiece or veggie tray.
