Shameless self-promotion

Hey! You should check out my Etsy shop that I just started! Right now I just have a few baby shower and birthday invitations but will do custom orders and plan to add more things, so keep visiting :)

I whipped this up last night for dinner, and it was so delicious!  Might be a nice addition to your Thanksgiving dinner. I highly recommend.

Ingredients:
6 lb sweet potatoes
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup heavy cream, warmed
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Prick each potato twice with a fork and bake in a foil-lined shallow baking pan in lower third of oven until very tender, about 1 hour. Remove and cool slightly.
Halve potatoes lengthwise and scoop out warm flesh into a large bowl. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or, for a smoother purée, force through a potato ricer. Stir in butter, cream, syrup, salt, and pepper.

(Note: I just baked the potatoes, mashed them, then added a splash of whip cream, a bit of margarine, and some maple syrup without measuring. Then threw it into a casserole dish to keep warm in the oven while the rest of dinner cooked. It turned out really nice and fluffy!)

Origami Flowers

How gorgeous are these paper flowers by My Bohemian Summer? I loved my own wedding flowers, but I think I would have loved to have had a paper bouquet even more! Plus, these are much nicer to save as a keepsake than dried up old flowers. {via Paper Crave}
