I could never find a more delicious recipe for Sweet Potato Casserole than this one...

I love Traditions; well, some traditions. I love
baking and cooking and roasting all kinds of wonderful
foods for Thanksgiving and Christmas and Easter.

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful Holiday.
Don't get me wrong, we are always thankful,all day, each
and everyday for all that God does for us, but,there's
something so wonderful about knowing that people all
over this nation and even around the world, are giving
thanks and sharing a feast together with some of the ones
they love,even if it's not with their immediate family.
(I know that there are families that don't get along
with one another and some wouldn't get together at all
if it were not for this holiday (and two other wonderful
holidays),but,I'd like to think that some are taking
advantage of the opportunity to reconcile during this
holiday while they still can.)

One very special Thanksgiving. a friend from church
made this Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Praline
Topping and it was so delicious that I passed up all
the cakes and pies just to have a second serving of it.
As with every Thanksgiving, we ate til we were stuffed
and we thought about and prayed for all the starving
children in India and felt guilty for eating such a
marvelous and enormous amount of food, but everything
was so delicious, but, that dish deserved a standing
ovation.

It is a true Tradition in our home for Thanksgiving
and Christmas, and sometimes Easter. It's the cream cheese
that makes it different and makes it so fabulous.
I will share the recipe with you...
