    Soxmom I am on my way to work but will look up the recipe tonight when I get home. Should I just post it here or would you like me to email it to you. If so, give me your email address please. You can try this out beforehand to see if you like it. I guarantee it will warm the cockles of your heart. What the heck are cockles anyway?

    Corn Pudding is a must at our house on thanksgiving. It is tasty and this recipe is easy and no fail. For a single batch I use my trusty square corning ware baking dish, when I double it I use a 9 x 11 rectangle dish. When I triple it the big mammer jammer pyrex dish comes out.

    Corn Pudding

    3 eggs

    1- can cream corn

    1- can corn niblets drained

    1/4 cup sugar

    1/2 cup milk

    1/4 cup flour

    1 tsp butter

    salt & pepper

    dash of nutmeg – optional

    Preheat oven to 350

    Mix egg & sugar together, Mix flour & milk in a jar, shaking until smooth. (no lumps) Add to egg mixture. Add corn, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

    spray the dish with Pam. Pour in Corn mixture and dot with butter or pour 1 Tbsp melted butter over

    And bake at 350 for 1 hour stirring once midway through. Make sure you scrape the corners really well when you stir

    Double, Triple or Quad this recipe for a crowd

    SM, I despised sweet potatoes until I tried this recipe from the absolutely most fabulous soul food eatery in the world, Weaver D’s in Athens, GA. It is also reportedly the favorite dish of REM’s Michael Stipe, if that is worth anything to you.

    Now this dish is a staple of my Thanksgiving meal–if you’re not ravenous after just smelling this, check your pulse.

    Weaver D’s Sweet Potato Souffle’

    Yield

    6 to 8 servings

    Ingredients

    * 6 small sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds)

    * 3/4 cup sugar

    * 3 large eggs, lightly beaten

    * 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

    * 3 tablespoons milk

    * 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

    * 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    * 3/4 teaspoon lemon extract

    Preparation

    Peel sweet potatoes, and cut into cubes. Cook sweet potatoes in boiling water to cover 15 to 20 minutes or until tender; drain and mash. Combine sweet potatoes and remaining ingredients, stirring until smooth. Spoon sweet potato mixture into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish.

    Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until bubbly.

    Another recipe that means Thanksgiving to me is Oyster Souffle’. I still have trouble having a holiday meal without it, but Hubby complains so bitterly about its aroma (I think it’s wonderful), I’ve quit making it. 🙁

    Still, here’s the recipe:

    INGREDIENTS

    * 35 buttery round crackers (like Ritz), crushed

    * 1 (12 ounce) can oysters, drained (retain juice)

    * 2 cups half-and-half cream

    * 1 tablespoon butter

    * 1 pinch paprika

    DIRECTIONS

    1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 1 quart casserole dish. Carefully examine (by feel) each oyster individually, removing any bits of shell or other hard pieces.

    2. Place a layer of crushed crackers in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Cover with a layer of oysters. Drizzle lightly with juice from oyster container. Repeat layers ending with a layer of cracker crumbs on the top, drizzled with oyster juice. Drizzle the half-and-half over all, and dot with pieces of butter. Sprinkle paprika over the top. Cover, and let stand for one hour to firm up.

    3. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until the top is golden, and the center is firm.

    All the recipes sound so good. Will they all be getting entered into MerD’s recipe book?

    Am I screwed up here? It wouldn’t surprise me. I thought she started a recipe book taking all the TDKer’s favorites & putting them together. Sorry if I’m wrong.

    gatakitty…I LOVE your avatar.

    You’re right, Susie–I was only seconding your emotion.

    Thanks for the kudos–that’s our late great Lucy, who disappeared almost a year ago. I presume she is now telling Chester EXACTLY how things are to be done!

    I just made these potatoes with my sister-in-law when we were visiting in Virginia. They are a bit different and really good.

    Sweet Potatoes with Goat Cheese and Truffle Oil

    1 1/2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2″ chunks

    4 oz. of goat cheese, crumbled

    2 Tbl of butter (and it has to be the real stuff)

    1 Tbl of truffle oil

    Cook sweet potatoes in boiling, salted water until tender, approximately 15 min. Drain and put in food processor, add crumbled goat cheese. Blend until smooth. Add butter and truffle oil, blend to mix.

    Place in baking dish and heat in 350 degree oven until warm, approximately 15 – 20 minutes.

    Maybe made ahead, covered and refrigerated. Either rewarm in oven, or may be heated in the microwave.

    The goat cheese gives an unusual, creamy taste and texture. To tell the truth, I don’t know that I could even taste the truffle oil and it may not be worth the expense. A hazelnut oil or walnut oil would work just as well.

    Everyone really liked these and there were no leftovers.

    Never say never when it comes to outdoor cats. I thought the exact thing about my Knight. He was literally gone for over a year & then showed up one day out of the blue. There’s always hope.

    I love sweet potatoes, but only baked and served with butter. The Sweet Potato Souffle sounds great though as it doesn’t involve any marshmallos or a ton of sugar. I may try it.

    Here is the recipe for what is called “Elegant Pumpkin Soup”

    Ingredients:

    1 TBsp Butter

    1 small Onion, minced

    3 Cups Chicken bouillon

    1 1/2 Cups Canned Pumpkin without added seasonings

    1 heaping TBsp Brown Sugar

    1/4 teaspoon Salt

    * pinch of Cinnamon and freshly grated Nutmeg

    ** 1 Cup Table Cream

    Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and saute on low heat until soft (about 5 minutes)

    Add the chicken bouillon and stir

    Add pumpkin, sugar and seasonings

    Stir or whisk until blended

    Bring to a slow boil

    Cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes to blend flavors.

    Stir in the cream and heat through.

    * a pinch really means a pinch. The nutmeg in particular can really be overwhelming even with a few too many grains added so its better to err on the side of too little than too much.

    ** Before you add the cream take out a little bit for decoration (figure one teaspoon for each serving). Then when the soup is in the bowl just before you are going to serve it, drizzle the spoon of cream around to make a circle on the surface of the soup. Doesn’t do anything except make it look prettier.

    Bon a petit

    If you make it I would love to hear how it went over and what you thought of it. This has been a favorite in my family for many years now.
