  1. So glad you posted! I am taking my daughter for the first time this year. In years past, she's watched our small group print copies of ads, map out the layout, the order in which everyone should shop and checked out walkie talkie/cell phone batteries. Last year she went with me to the Thanksgiving day sale, which i use as a warm up for BF, and she did really well, diving in and getting the last item in the bin. This year she said she's ready to move up from being the babysitter to being one of the shoppers! I'm nervous and excited all at the same time! Wish us luck!
  2. we're not going to be able to a lot of shopping this year. that being said, i've seen a few things that i would like to pick up. wonder if it will be enough to pull me away from walmart this year. thanks for posting Brad. can't wait to see the rest of the ads!
  3. Sweet Potato Balls Recipe

     

    2 C. mashed sweet potatoes

    2/3 C. firmly packed brown sugar

    1/8 t. grated nutmeg

    1 t. grated orange peel

    4 to 6 T. orange juice

    8 large marshmallows

    2 C. flaked coconut

     

    Use fresh cooked or drained canned sweet potatoes. Add brown sugar, nutmeg, orange peel and juice to mashed potatoes. Mix well. Shape 1/2 cup mixture around a marshmallow; roll in coconut. Place potato balls in a buttered baking dish and bake at 350°F. for 20 minutes or until hot.

     

    Makes 8 balls.

     

    The balls may also be rolled in corn flakes rather than coconut if someone in the family doesn't care for coconut. This is a great do-ahead recipe. Just remember not to cook them too long or the marshmallow will begin to run out
