Sweet Potato Pie

When we got back from our Thanksgiving trip down south, I picked up a 20 lb turkey for 45 cents a pound! Now it's time to do my own turkey dinner, and I've been looking for a sweet potato pie recipe anywhere close to the one we had in Baton Rouge. This one looks close, so I'm giving it a go...

Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potato Pie.

I made this last night and, while it was pretty good for me, it was a total hit for my hubby! I'm not big on the taste of cooked/baked nuts, so it would have been a miracle for me to have totally loved it. My hubby was exuberant in his praise of the dish though! Definitely a new family favorite!

Pecan topped Sweet Potatoes

I'm back! After a week of arguing with the computer, the modem, the router, the ISP, and finally walking away...and back...I've finally got my internet working again! And now I'm in search for a fantastic onion idea I saw last week but didn't take the time to create a link to....this is why I have blecipes!!!
{sigh)
So in my search for this elusive onion recipe, I ran across Stephanie's idea for sweet potatoes and I happen to have everything on hand!

So I decided conclusively that I don't like using nuts in anything baked. Every time I walked past the crockpot, I just didn't like the smell. As I thought more about it, I can't recal ever liking nuts in my brownies or pies. Excluding pecan pie, of course. But with that much sugar, what wouldn't taste good.
Anyway, if I make this again, I'll probably forgo the pretzels and the pecans, and possibly even cut down on the cranberries because as much as I like cranberries, I didn't enjoy the whole fruit in the same bite as the sweet potatoes. I'd still use them though because the infused flavor was wonderfull.
Just me.
