So I made the two recipes I posted for Thanksgiving and thought I'd comment.
The Sweet Potato Gratin with Chile-Spiced Pecans turned out really well. I made it twice. I had to cook the sweet potatoes a little longer and at a bit higher temp because I had humongo potatoes, but otherwise everything went fine. The second time I made the recipe I made everything ahead of time except for the last 25 minutes of baking and this worked fine. I also substituted regular chili powder because that's what I had.
The Creamed Spinach was a ton of work! If I ever try to make this again I will definately look for a recipe that calls for frozen spinach. Four pounds of fresh spinach is about 8 bunches. Also, despite the fact that the recipe called for half a stick of butter and 1.5 cups heavy cream, it wasn't as creamylicious as the kind you get at the restaurant. Kinda scary.

Welcome!
Pat Riddling had the idea of creating a church cookbook since we have so many great cooks. I happen to know we also have some serious bloggers (: so I thought, hmmmm. What about a recipe blog? Feel free to post requests for recipes, your own recipes, pics!, stories to accompany your recipes, low budget meal ideas, whatever strikes your fancy, but do try to keep it about food. Invite your friends, family, neighbors and be sure to link here from your blog! It's a Potluck!
