I'm going to make sweet potato casserole for my husband's family party. Anyone got a good recipe to share??

I wish I did, but I am not a fan of Yams. My sister's boyfriend likes it though, and he is making and bring his own because I refused!

I'm not a fan of sweet sweet potatoes. I like them with roasted w/salt & rosemary. DH's fam prefers traditional foods, so I usually just go with the tried & true for them.

I am going to make a roast - don't know how yet and a duck. The duck I used to make in my rotiserie but that blew out and now I don't know how I will make it. That and I skinned it cause although I love skin it hurt my hand to pluck em. And I am going to try a weight watcher pumkin pie recipe. so I can stay on plan. We our going to a friends so we won't do all the cookin.

After reading this I think I need to stop procrastinating and get some stuff done!

We're going to some friends so don't have to do the whole thing.
I'm taking what I grew, green bean casserole, sweet potatos, salsa and sliced tomatos. Not sure how I'll do the sweets?
The tomatos are ones I picked green after the plants faded. I've kept them in the greenhouse, covered, a few are getting ripe every day.

THANX RICH

Shoot- I was hoping somebody had a great idea for sweet potatoes. Looks like everybody is stuck! I was thinking maybe some pecans mixed in, for sweetness instead on marshmallows? I'll try to do a search today for recipes...
We're doing all the cooking, but not for a big crowd. So, it shouldn't be too bad...Sticking with all the traditional stuff.

Thanks, bid- they both sound delicious. I think I will try the casserole. That is just what I had in mind, with the pecan topping!
