Adventures in Holiday Shopping

Hello wonderful friends.  It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here again.  The holidays seem to come faster each year.  I got up early and headed to the local chain store to pick up all my items for cooking our holiday dinner. You gotta love mega stores, they really are huge and you can find practically everything.  All the hustle and bustle in the stores.  The holidays are here!!!!

I saw the nicest holiday gesture when I pulled into the parking lot.  I was just stunned at how far people will go to keep you from getting into trouble if you accidentally park in the handicapped parking spot but you're not actually handicapped. I was truly touched at how much some people really do care.

Meet Week #4 Co-Host

Happy Weekend Everyone

We are so happy to introduce you to our week 4 co-host of 

The Chain "Linky" CLIMB blog hop.

Today you will meet 4 awesome women that love to create and inspire.

Please go by and visit these wonderful bloggers and find some new inspiration.

Now on to the introductions as our Co-Hosts tell you a little about themselves.

"Hi, I'm April. a wife, mother and a fitness coach.  Both of my beautiful children have changed my life. They are my motivation.  I started this blog because basically over the years I had gotten fat and I became about a 100 pounds overweight.  My blog entails the journey I find myself on to be fit and healthy for my family. I hope you will join me on my journey" 

"I’m Nicki, a wife, web designer, and blogger living in the suburbs of Dallas with my husband Jeremy and our spoiled tabby cat Rider.  Why have a blog? Well, I have a broad range of interests and I like to share. You’ll find tips and info on lots of things that strike my fancy so they may strike yours as well. Jeremy and I try to eat healthy, so we tend to cook at home a lot. We love trying new recipes from friends and family, Facebook, and Pinterest. Don’t be surprised to find a hot sports opinion every once in a while. I’m a huge sports fan and especially love fantasy football!"

Hi everyone and welcome to my world. I originally started this blog because so many friends were asking me for my recipes and making suggestions that I write a cookbook. Well last year when we became empty nesters and I suddenly had all this time on my hands, I decided to bite the bullet. You see I have always loved to cook and take pictures. My friends will tell you, I love to cook and they love to enjoy it. Also, ask my husband, he can testify to the thousands of photos I have that are waiting to be placed in scrapbooks.

My name is Lisa & I live in Northeast Georgia with my wonderful hubby.  We also have a mischievous pup named Parker who exhibits cat-like behavior :)  I am a lifelong crafter from cross stitch to paper crafts to polymer clay...I love them all.  My passion is dollhouses & miniatures & I love that I can incorporate all of my crafting into this wonderful hobby.  My blog is Mini Addictions. I primarily work in 1:12 scale, but also create a little in 1:24 to accommodate my Marx Dollhouses. wonderful hubby.  We also have a mischievous pup named Parker who exhibits cat-like behavior :)  I am a lifelong crafter from cross stitch to paper crafts to polymer clay...I love them all.  My passion is dollhouses & miniatures & I love that I can incorporate all of my crafting into this wonderful hobby.  My blog is Mini Addictions.

Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients

2 cups peeled, cooked sweet potatoes
1  cups sugar
1/2 stick melted butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup milk
9-inch unbaked pie crust ( I love pie crust so I use 2 and let them thaw and then mold them together into one thick crust)


Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the filling, using an electric hand mixer, combine the potatoes, 1 cup of the sugar, the butter, eggs, vanilla, salt, and spices. Mix thoroughly. Add the milk and continue to mix. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the pie on a rack and cool to room temperature before serving.

Top with Cool Whip or cream whip of choice.  

Serve & Enjoy!
