Most years for Thanksgiving we have made the long trip (by car) from our home in Georgia to my husband’s family in Wisconsin to enjoy a week with them and of course, have Thanksgiving dinner. It’s a most enjoyable time for all filled with laughs and memory-making moments. My wonderful Mother-in-law makes an out of this world Sweet Potato casserole that my pickiest daughter loves. She shared her recipe with me and it will be part of our meal this year as we weren’t able to go to their house. My daughter, Valerie, also made this dish this year and it was great. I can already taste this…
