Personally I think the secret to fabulous sweet potato anything is to bake the potatoes in the oven. The microwave works ok too, but I do NOT recommend boiling or etc.
2-3 sweet potatoes (about 2 cups), baked and cooled
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar (I am going to try brown sugar next time)
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tbsp good quality dark rum
4 tbsp melted butter
one pie crust (I used a Gluten Free Pantry mix, but I prebaked it and let it cool, I just have better luck when I prebake those)
Preheat oven to 425. Skin the potatoes and cube, place in food processor. Run processor until smooth. Add eggs, milk, sugar, seasonings, rum and butter, run processor until well blended and no lumps or chunks.
Pour into prepared pie crust. Bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes, reduce heat to 300, bake an additional 40-50 minutes or until center is set. Add some mashmallows if desired and bake an additional 10 minutes or until marshmallows are browned and puffy (they will set as they cool)...enjoy!!!

I'm a busy mom with 4 growing boys....recently divorced and back to school myself full time to add to the chaos. Gluten Free cooking scares a lot of people, but it shouldn't....I'm hopeful that this blog can help people make the transition a little less scary.

About Me
- Jen
- I'm the mother of 4 boys.....from high school graduate to elementary school, 10 year span from oldest to youngest. Recently divorced, back to school full time, was a stay at home mom for 15 years. Diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis in 1999, Gluten Allergy/Celiac in 2005. Have not had an RA flare up since going GF!!! There isn't enough money in the world to make me eat gluten!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....
1. I babble. A lot. In real life and in cyber space. Sorry, it is just is who I am and I'm not likely to change that about myself anytime soon.
2. My recipes are usually a mish mash of more than one that I have 'tweaked'. So just beware if you follow one of my recipes. I rarely make the exact same thing twice, there is usually some variant. Play, have fun, it's food, enjoy it!!!
3. Cooking times on all my recipes are approximations. I rarely set a timer. I've gotten better at setting the timer as life has gotten crazier, but I still like to burn things on occasion, just to keep everyone on their toes. Plus it's a good excuse to open the windows and air out the house.
4. I have picky boys. Your boys might not like the taste, texture, color of some of my recipes, but my boys do and that is all I can strive for. Sorry, I can't make everyone happy, I just do what I can to keep my crew on the go.
5. If you have something I need to try, some tweak you have made, some bad outcome, let me know.....I like to change things up and may not have tried what you have tried.
6. Cooking is an experiment. You have to be able to fail and just have fun. If the crust is bad, then eat the filling, if the filling is bad then eat the crust, and if the whole thing is bad, well, just open a bottle of wine and tell the kids to make soup.
7. Always remember, Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall always be amused.......

Hi there!
Your recipes look DIVINE! I'm looking forward to trying some of them now that I've poked around. :o)
I have to laugh at your screen name. You see, Brien's sister is "Jen" who's actually a "Jennifer" who's father calls her "Fred". Small world, no?
I don't know if you've seen it, but you left a wonderful offer on my blog and I'd LOVE to take you up on it! I'm more than willing to pay for the paper, just let me know! If you'll leave me your email addy in my comments, B won't post it and I can contact you.
Thanks for all your kind words and support over the past few months. I really appreciate it! :o)
