Sweet Potato Casserole

  • 3 cups boiled then mashed sweet potatoes (yams)
  • 1/2 cup cream (or canned milk) we often just use regular milk which seems fine, but use less like 1/4 of a cup
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter (we leave this out)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix all ingredients together. Place in casserole dish or baking pan.

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup butter

Jell-O Square Salad – Grandma Dennis

Set the night before:

Make with 1 1/2 cups hot water. Set it in a shallow pan like a cake pan etc.

  • 1 small orange Jell-O
  • 1 small green Jell-O
  • 1 small red Jell-O

The next day

  • 1 small lemon Jell-O – Make with 1 cup hot water and set until syrupy. If it gets too set up set the pan in hot water to liquify again.
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Mix together cream cheese and sugar. Then add 2 Tablespoons lemon juice. Add lemon Jell-O and Dream Whip (already whipped up according to package directions).

Cut orange, green, and red Jell-O into squares. Mix all together with creamy mixture.

*Dream Whip makes 2 cups so if you use package from kitchen store make 2 cups. Or you can use Cool Whip. That’s what Grandma Dennis does now.
