#SUNNYD Whipped Sweet Potatoes Recipe

Our kitchen is the heart of our home, and this is where we share many precious memories. This year’s Thanksgiving will be a little different and quieter than others, but we will make it count! Drew and I made some #SUNNYD Whipped Sweet Potatoes and want to share this delicious recipe with you!

As a family, we love to cook together and try different recipes. Most people like to use red sweet potatoes, but we made this SUNNY Delight recipe with white ones. I have realized over the years that it’s ok to experiment and add my own spin on recipes.

Thank you Sunny Delight for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own,

INGREDIENTS

3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed ( I used white sweet potatoes)
2-2/3 cups SUNNYD Tangy Original, divided
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Place sweet potatoes and 2-1/3 cups SUNNYD in a large saucepan or Dutch oven.

Cover and bring to a boil.

Boil for 35-45 minutes or just until potatoes are tender.

Drain and place in a large mixing bowl.

Mash potatoes with the brown sugar, butter, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and remaining SUNNYD.

Garnish with walnuts (optional).

Happy Holidays from our family to yours! Check out another great recipe here!

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey a New Netflix Holiday Classic

JINGLE JANGLE: A CHRISTMAS JOURNEY (2020) Dianna Babnicova as Young Jessica, Justin Cornwell Cornwell as Young Jeronicus and Sharon Rose as Joanne. Cr.Gareth Gatrell/NETFLIX

The holidays have been difficult this year, with quarantine among us. Our family has done little things to try and get into the Christmas spirit, which includes excessive cookie making, an extremely large hot cocoa consumption, and movie binging. Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is a delightful way to get into the Christmas Spirit. This holiday season, my son and I had the amazing opportunity to interview this talented cast, while also prescreening the film.

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey hits select theaters and streaming on Netflix November 13th!

About Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey

A musical adventure and a visual spectacle for the ages, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is a wholly fresh and spirited family holiday event. Set in the gloriously vibrant town of Cobbleton, the film follows legendary toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker) whose fanciful inventions burst with whimsy and wonder. But when his trusted apprentice (Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key) steals his most prized creation, it’s up to his equally bright and inventive granddaughter (newcomer Madalen Mills) — and a long-forgotten invention — to heal old wounds and reawaken the magic within.

JINGLE JANGLE: A CHRISTMAS JOURNEY (2020) John Legend and Madalen Mills on the set of Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey. Cr.Gareth Gatrell/NETFLIX

From the imagination of writer-director David E. Talbert, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey reminds us of the strength of family and the power of possibility. Featuring original songs by John Legend, Philip Lawrence, Davy Nathan, and “This Day” performed by Usher and Kiana Ledé.

After watching this movie on repeat, sometimes I catch my son humming the tunes from the movie while completing his daily routine, and sometimes…I sing along. This charming film follows a classic theme, while beautifully achieving a long overdue diverse cast. Here’s what this phenomenal cast and director had to ay about the film.

Every night during Merry Farm, when the sun sets on the Farm, the buildings and paths in Ghost Town’s Main Street and School House Road are filled with glow and snow!
