Thanksgiving 2

More of my mom's Thanksgiving recipes

Creamy Corn Pudding **we TRIPLE this recipe for our Thanksgiving of about 12 people

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablspoons flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 can (17 ounces) cream style corn
3 eggs

Melt butter in saucepan over low heat; add flour, sugar, and salt, stirring until smooth. Cook one minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Remove mixture from heat, and stir in corn. Beat eggs well. Gradually stir in about 1/4 of hot mixture into beaten eggs; then add remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly. Pour into a lightly greased one and one half quart casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour. Yield 6 servings

For some reason when we make a double batch for 9 people it disappears so we now triple the recipe.

PLEASE be careful when adding eggs to a hot mixture. You can get scrambled eggs and it is not what you want to do here!






Sweet Potato Casserole

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 pound butter, softened
1 cup milk

Cook, peel and slice sweet potatoes. In mixing bowl with electric mixer, beat sweet potatoes until smooth. Mix in remaining ingredients. Butter a shallow 2 quart casserole dish. Pour in potato mixture, smooth out the top. Next add praline topping

Praline topping

2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 pound butter, melted
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Spread evenly over potatoes. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes (golden brown and bubbly). Remove from oven and let stand for ten minutes. Its always super hot! This can be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight.


Lastly, the Kraft Broccoli Cheese Casserole. Complete with cream of soup and cheez whiz. At least I do technically live in the south where this sort of food item is acceptable :P

I have to be on this low iodine diet for a while. At least until the end of February. You will be seeing some new recipes coming as my husband and I try to cook things to fit this diet. More info can be found here Thyroid Cancer Survivor Association I don't have thyroid cancer. I do have to have the same treatment as a thyroid cancer patient would have. Don't worry! I'll be fine in a few months. Some of the guidelines include -No seafood. no problem since I don't eat any -No soy products. no soy sauce, no tofu, no soy beans. sadness :( -No processed foods. The frozen meals I like to eat at lunch at work are now OUT. AHHHHHHHHHH and so are things like canned soup. Good bye tomato soup in a can -No dairy. Whatever is used to clean the cow milking equipment has iodine. how will I like without milk, cheese, and yogurt. it really puts a damper on my breakfast options. -Only fresh bread.
