Guest post: donna from to vie for. Of course I forced Donna — a very good friend and a blogger for To Vie For’s blog, The EnVied — to ride the carousel at Bryant Park.
She didn’t wait to, but somehow I managed to get her to cough up the $2 and hop on a horse (of her choice — personally I was really into the cat next to her) and ride for approximately 4 minutes. I told the operator to keep it going until I got my perfect shot and the families waiting in line (that appeared out of nowhere, I swear) weren’t too amused. Once she stopped giving me dirty looks and pretending not to enjoy herself, I finally caught the adorable Donna I know and love — on film.
Being a fellow fashion writer, Donna has naturally great style. She paired simple tailored separates and socks from Club Monaco with great suede knee-high boots from Banana Republic and delicate everyday gold jewelry and a chunky watch. Just in time for Thanksgiving, Donna sent over a sweet potato casserole recipe with pecans and brown sugar. Preheat oven to 325. Sweet Potato Casserole. Sweet potato casserole is another classic Thanksgiving side dish that I find difficult to resist.
When I first encountered the sweet potato casserole a few years ago it sounded a lot more like a dessert to me but now I am perfectly happy serving it as a side dish. In addition to tasting great, the sweet potato casserole is nice and easy to make, however it does require a bit of time as you need to make the mashed sweet potatoes followed by baking the casserole itself. If you have the time you can roast the sweet potatoes and mash them a day ahead but if you are making them on the big day, it might be easier to boil them to save in oven space which is always at a premium.
Once the mashed sweet potatoes are ready, you simply need to mix in a few things, top with the pecan crumble topping and bake it until golden brown on top. Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe.

She’s everyone’s mom. When you first meet her, she’s incredibly sweet and kind and a bit on the quite side. Then she gets to know you. She gets comfortable with you and has no problem letting you know your hair needs a trim or that yellow just isn’t your color. If she finds out you’re spending Thanksgiving alone, she doesn’t invite you to dinner, she tells you what time to show up and you’d better be there! In my opinion, the best part of Thanksgiving dinner is the side dishes. The star of this dish is the sweet potatoes. One of the best parts of sweet potato casserole is the crispy, crunchy pecan topping. This casserole is just sweet enough, not so sweet that it’s more desert than side dish.
