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!!!

Salmon Patties, II
I made this for my family and a friends mom and sister (the mom is sick and the sister is staying with her right now).....anywhoooo, so this recipe made a lot of patties. Just so ya know....
4 cups flaked cooked salmon (mine was seasoned with Lawry's)
1 stick butter, melted
1 box of Glutino(5.3 oz) crackers, crushed (Ritz for you "normal" people)
4 eggs
2 tbsp minced garlic
And I **think** that was it.....
Mix that all up real good, form into patties, place on a baking sheet (with a lipso the butter doesn't drip all over your oven) and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, flip and bake another 10 minutes until nicely browned....enjoy with the lemon caper sauce I posted yesterday!!! yum!!!

Warm blueberries and apples
2 cups frozen blueberries
3-5 large apples, I used Macintosh, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oats (added another cup at the end)
3-4 tbsp melted butter
1-2 tsp cinnamon
1-2 tbsp gf flour blend
Place the apples and blueberries in crock pot, add 1-2 tbsp lemon juice, half the brown sugar and cinnamon, stir together. Pour water over mixture.
Mix half the brown sugar and oats with half the cinnamon in bowl, stir in melted butter. Stir this into crock. Cook on high....it's just now cooking, so I will have to update this when it's done.
*****Ok, so it was too watery, I added another cup of oats at the end and let it sit. We did eat it over vanilla ice cream, and it was good, not great, but not tossed either. Needs something else, just not sure what it is.*****

cranberry orange smoothie
I have lots of boys home from school and work today and several cans of Ocean Spray cranberry stuff......and they love smoothies.....so thought I'd give it a try.
1 can Ocean Spray Cranberry jelly stuff
1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
16 oz orange juice
Blend it until smooth, serve in cups and drink.
I actually didn't have straight orange juice, only a blend, so I used that, but would have prefered straight orange juice, either way it was pretty good.
