Cider Wine

Not only is this delish, but your house will smell unbelievable. In a big sauce pot mix 1 gallon of cider, 1/2 bottle of red wine, mullen spice, and stir with a 12 inch cinnamon stick. Leave the stick in the pot to stir occasionally and simmer. Have a ladle and cups near so people can help themselves. I usually start it at least an hour before guests arrive.

Cynthia’s Legendary Sweet Potato Casserole


Warning it feeds an army:

5 LARGE cans sweet potatoes
2 raw eggs
1 medium sized can evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1 half box brown sugar
4 tablespoons vanilla (or more to taste)
3 tablespoons nutmeg
½ cup cinnamon (of course this is purely an estimate I like a TON of cinnamon so you decide)
1 stick of melted butter

Blend all together in a VERY LARGE bowl and then pour into 3 buttered large casserole dishes. Bake at 325 for about 45 minutes then place marshmallows on top and then put back into oven until marshmallows are melted.

****This recipe makes enough to feed MANY people, so you can cut it down to feed your number of people.******

I make a turkey on Thanksgiving only because I know there will be enough left overs for turkey soup. I love it, the kids love it, my Italian husband will eat it (there's no pasta in it so that is saying a lot). Traveling moms - this soup freezes so well. Ziploc freezer bags work perfectly.

In a large pot, combine the following ingredients:

Chopped turkey pieces (I use the food processor b/c I like the pieces small. Ditto for the carrots (I perfer fast over beautifully sliced).

2 carrots sliced thin
2 zucchini & yellow squash diced
¼ green pepper
¼ red pepper
2 cans diced Italian tomatoes
2 cans water (tomato cans)
1 whole jalapeno
2 chicken bouillion cubes
½ tsp ginger
Italian seasoning; sprinkle dill weed, celery salt
1 can whole kernel corn, drained, rinsed
1 can navy beans
1 can peas (add later)

No, the squash will not get too soft and yes, you can use frozen veggies instead of canned. The soup does NOT have a tinny taste but I rinse the canned stuff first anyway. The dill weed is an important ingredient so don't skimp unless you don't like dill.
