 This is a delicious Thanksgiving classic recipe. If you think sweet potato casserole with marshmallows sounds gross, then you really don't know what you're missing. But, you can make it in Germany from scratch. It's actually not even that difficult. Sweet Potato Casserole: 2 whole sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar 1/3 cup (80g) butter 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or 1/2 tbsp vanilla sugar 3/4 cup (90g) chopped pecans (optional) dash cinnamon dash salt 2 cups (120g) mini marshmallows Peel potatoes and chop into chunks.  Boil sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling water for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft.  Drain water and mash into puree.  Stir in brown sugar, butter, vanilla, pecans, cinnamon and salt.  Pour into a buttered baking dish.  Top with marshamallows.  Bake at 350°F or 180°C for 25 minutes or until the marshmallows are browned. This dish is a dessert and not really a side dish, so plan accordingly. You c...

 I wanted to make a cake for Thanksgiving. So, getting creative! I colored some buttercream green, yellow, red and made some chocolate buttercream that is naturally brown. And, of course, I frosted a sheet cake with white buttercream. Then, with a toothpick, I write the words Happy Thanksgiving into the white buttercream. Then I followed the lines with the green buttercream in a piping bag with a small round piping tip. Then I piped an arch with a petal tip with brown buttercream. Then I do the same thing with red buttercream. And again with yellow. Then I piped a hook in the middle with brown buttercream with a star tip. I piped a bit of yellow at the tip of the turkey's beak. And I piped an L at each edge of the cake. Then I piped some leaves on the tree at the edges. I also tossed in some yellow leaves. And using the green buttercream, I piped some grass with a leaf tip. Then I covered the top edge with the same leaf tip. Then I pipe a bottom edge with the brown buttercream in a...

Apple pie is the first baking recipe that I ever made completely by myself without any help at around age twelve. Apple pie is perfect for apple season in the fall. Therefore, I love making it around Thanksgiving time. Apple Pie: 1 double crust pastry (one whole recipe of my pie crust) 6 medium apples (may need more or less depending on the size of the apples) 1/4 cup (50g) sugar 2 tbsp flour 1-2 tbsp cinnamon (by taste) sugar for sprinkling on the crust Peel, core and slice the apples into small pieces. Sprinkle sugar, flour and cinnamon over the top and mix together. You won't need extra moisture. The apples are juicy enough. Roll out half of your pie crust dough and place it into a pie plate. Fill the pie with your apple mixture. Roll out the other half of the pie crust and place on the top of the first crust. Pinch the edges together and cut off the excess. Sprinkle the top with sugar. Bake in a 350°F or 180°C oven for 35-45 minutes or until th...
