Sweet Potato desserts for Thanksgiving =)

What a great Thanksgiving! Everyone enjoyed my desserts.

I made Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows -- Mudslide style. This was a complete mistake. I didn't have any cream, so I substituted mudslide coffee creamer. I was really happy when family commented on how delicious it was.

The other dessert I made, I found the recipe on Emeril Lagasse's site. It is sweet potato creme brulee. My favorite dessert is creme brulee so I wanted to make a version of it for Thanksgiving. I didn't have a strainer so I had to get one really quick in the midst of making this. Haha. It came out great, except for the sugar topping, which I put too much sugar so it wasn't melted correctly. However, many members of the family commented on how yummy and creamy it was.

Pumpkin pie, fajitas (sort of), hamburger helper

 These pictures were from October, but I just didn't upload them. I had finished taking the guts out the pumpkins for Jack-O-Lanterns, and I was going to cook with them, but I decided to buy the pumpkin pie filling instead. Unfortunately, I did not read the directions carefully and used prebaked dough for the pie so it was a bit overcooked in the crust. However, the filling was Oh-So-Delish!

I felt like making fajitas, so I had used extra lean beef I had bought from Fresh Market. But instead of being slices of beef, it was ground beef, so here is what the fajita filling ended up looking like. It tasted great and my son wanted seconds! =D

 I had leftover meat, so I used it to make Hamburger Helper.
