Now that my baby is home from the hospital, life has gotten a bit hectic! So I’ve called on some of my favorite bloggers to share some of their favorite recipes with you, as well as new recipes they’re making this fall and for Thanksgiving. I’m so excited about the recipes that will be coming your way over the next few weeks!
LeAnn from Pantry Friendly Cooking is here today sharing a recipe that will be perfect for a Thanksgiving side dish. I can’t wait to give these a try!
Hi I am LeAnn and I over at Pantry Friendly Cooking. One of my recipes recently won Readers Choice Grand Prize in the Better Recipes Contest, was runner up in the Cache Valley Cheese Signature Dish Contest, and recent winner of Best Blogger Recipe Ever: Potlucks and Parties. I have been a frequent guest on Good Things Utah, a featured chef on Studio 5, the CW 30 and at the Salt Lake Tribune Home and Garden Show. I also teach cooking classes throughout the Salt Lake City area. I hope my passion and love of cooking will inspire you to cook from your pantry and create your own cuisine traditions.
My cookbook Pantry-Friendly Mexican Cooking is available at most fine food and cooking stores throughout Utah. It is also available at Amazon.com or directly from the author’s publisher at https://outskirtspress.com/Bird.

Follow along with me on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, Google+, and Twitter!
Today I am so excited to guest blog at Cupcake Diaries while my cute friend Allison is loving her new baby.
I dreamed up this recipe while at 30,000 feet flying home from Canada. Did I dream it? Maybe….
Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes are loaded with luscious, rich ingredients. But not so rich that it loses potato flavor. It will be perfect for your upcoming holiday menus.
Bake variety of Sweet Potato, Yams and Yukon Gold Potatoes in foil jackets.
Scoop out the potato from the skins and place in a large bowl.
Whip potato mixture with an electric mixer until creamy.
Add Raisins and apples to whipped potato mixture.
These can be made in advance covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days. They are ready to serve in 30 minutes or until they are heated through. You can also place the Sweet Potato Mixture in one baking dish for a family style side dish.
Can be covered in individual dishes and refrigerated until final bake.
It is definitely going to be on my menu for Thanksgiving. Maybe a few times before that. My family will love the change.

Alli says
Cialis tends to last longer and does not give me a headache or makes my skin flush like the Kamagra 100mg tablets, but sometimes it hurts a little in the lower back.
