Mini Impossible Sweet Potato Pies



It's getting to be that time of year when I have just a few sweet potatoes left from last years harvest. I was trying to get creative and make something different that I haven't done with the sweet potatoes already. When surfing the Internet, I came across a recipe for an impossible mini pumpkin pies. I thought to myself why not use sweet potatoes, I've done it before for pumpkin pie recipes. So I thought okay I'm going to make little mini impossible sweet potato pies. 
They turned out yummy. 



So here is the recipe from Betty Crocker website I used with my adaptation, to make it a sweet potato pies.

Mini Impossible Sweet Potato Pies

1 1/4 cup mash sweet potato
1/2 cup Original Bisquick®  or baking mix
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup evaporated milk (I used milk)
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1tsp vanilla
eggs
cup frozen (thawed) whipped topping, if desired

Top with brown sugar and chopped pecans

Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
In medium bowl, stir all ingredients except whipped topping until blended. 
If using just milk instead of evaporated milk need to mix  1 tsp. of corn starch in with the sugar, then add with the rest of ingredients.
Pour 1/4 cup of mixture into each muffin cup.
I put the br sugar and pecans on each one


Bake about 30 minutes or until muffin tops ( I found it to be around 25 minutes) are golden brown and edges are starting to pull away from sides of pan. Cool 10 minutes. With thin knife, loosen sides of pies from pan; remove from pan and place top sides up on cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes longer, and serve with 1 generous tablespoonful whipped topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Makes 12 mini pies

Another thing I want to add  is how to make your own pumpkin pie spice mix if you don't have it on hand. You will need the spices cinnamon, ground allspice, ground ginger, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg

 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
 1 teaspoon ground ginger
 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

mix all together

This makes 2 tablespoons but you can increase amounts and store in a clean container for use later.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
