“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”
― Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

As we are rushing around this Christmas with holiday activities, shopping, spending time with friends and family, I hope you will take a moment and pray for the Ryder Family. As you know Dan Ryder experienced a Brain Aneurysm this year and this will be a very trying time for his family. I ask that you keep his family in your thoughts and prayers!

Sweet Potato Praline Casserole

Recipe by South Your Mouth Sweet Potato Praline Casserole Sweet Potatoes: 4 lbs. sweet potatoes 3/4 – 1 cup sugar* 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 eggs, beaten 6 tablespoons butter, melted Praline Topping: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup dark brown sugar 1 heaping cup chopped pecans 1/2 cup butter, melted Pinch of salt Arrange sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil then pierce each with a fork a few times to vent. Bake at 400 degrees until tender (usually about an hour for large sweet potatoes). Check tenderness by inserting a knife into the thickest potato – knife should slide in easily with no resistance. Do not boil the potatoes or use canned ones. I mean it! Allow sweet potatoes to cool to room temperature then remove the skins. Add sweet potatoes, sugar, vanilla, salt, eggs and butter to a medium bowl or stand mixer.  Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes or until fluffy. Spoon sweet potato mixture into a 9x9 casserole dish and spread evenly. To make praline topping, combine flour, brown sugar, pecans, butter and salt in a small bowl and mix until combined.  Mixture will be crumbly.  Sprinkle praline crumbles evenly over sweet potato mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. *Start with 3/4 cup of sugar and add more if desired.  Some sweet potatoes are much sweeter than others so the amount of sugar that you need can vary.  Mix everything up to the eggs and taste it for sweetness.  Make it as sweet as you like.
