Sweet Potato Casserole


This Sweet Potato Casserole is another family favorite.  The recipe came from a friend's mother and once I started making it for Thanksgiving and Christmas, I never looked back.  Normally I make it with Yams, but this year I found fresh Sweet Potatoes at H Mart, and Asian Grocery Store near us.  It came out delicious with the fresh sweet potatoes.  

Sweet Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

7 sweet potatoes
1 cup butter, cut up
3/4 cup brown sugar
5 eggs
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Bake sweet potatoes until done, about 1 hour. 

Then turn the oven down to 350 degrees.

Spray a 3 quart casserole dish with non stick cooking spray. 

let potatoes cool a little bit, until you can pick them up to peel them.

Peel the skins off of the potatoes and put in a mixing bowl.

Add butter, brown sugar, eggs, cream, salt, and pepper to the potatoes and mix with a mixer until smooth. 

Pour into the casserole dish and cook for 1 hour or until a knife comes out clean.

Serves 12 to 14

Sea of Glass in the Book of Revelation


I did this painting several years ago, and last week when I was praying about what to write today, I felt that I needed to show you my painting.  It is the Sea of Glass with Jesus's Crown.  I am so grateful that he sits on the thrown at the right hand of our father.  "Our Father who art in Heaven."  Isn't that great news!!!  He's right there watching over us and waiting for us.  

Here are some verses from Revelation that talk about the Sea of Glass.

And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 
Revelation 4:6

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 
Revelation 15:2

I find it comforting that the outcome of the battle has already been decided.

I love remembering at this time of year that Jesus came and lived among men as a man, in order to assure our future in the God's Kingdom.  

Have a Blessed Week.

Escargot Recipe


Today I am writing about one of my favorite appetizers,  Escargot.  I love the delicious flavors of the garlic, butter, and the escargot.  I also love dipping my bread in the garlic butter, after I have finished eating the escargot. 

Escargot

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cup butter
8 cloves garlic

2 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/3 cup white wine
1 package (2 dozen snail shells)
1 can 4 1/2 oz natural snails ( drained and rinsed )

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Mix butter, garlic, parsley, wine, salt, and pepper.

Spoon a small amount of the butter mixture into each snail shell.

Next put a snail inside each shell.

Then add the rest of the butter mixture to each of the shells.

Bake for 12 to 17 minutes.  Butter should be melted.

Serve immediately with fresh french baguettes, to soak up garlic butter.

I hope that you enjoy today's recipe for Escargot. As usual I always love hearing from you.

Enjoy!!!
