Holidays and Dairy-Free

I love the holidays. Food, fun, and fellowship. What could be more fun? Nothing.

Unless you have food allergies.

For October and November, Christina and I will be sharing dairy-free and gluten-free recipes, perfect for the holidays. Hopefully, you’ll discover something new to incorporate into your next family gathering…

I’m starting off October by re-sharing something I cook every Thanksgiving.

Sweet Potato Casserole

3 large cans sweet potatoes ( I prefer mashed)

1 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 stick butter or margarine (softened)

Drain and mash potatoes if not already mashed. Add 1 cup sugar, 3 eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla, and 1 stick butter (softened); mix well. Spread into pan.

Topping:

2 cups brown sugar

2/3 cup flour

2 cups chopped pecans

2/3 c. butter or margarine, melted

Mix brown sugar, flour, pecans, and melted butter; crumble on top of casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Enjoy!
