Thanks America!

Yeh, I'm a scouser, I'll even steal your holidays!

I felt like joining in this year and trying something new :) It was . . . interesting!

'Holiday Stuffed Mushrooms' (very yummy!) check out Diana's video-she gives really good instructions on how to make them!

And here's the recipe for the yams with marshmallows (no video I'm afraid!)
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Pecan and Marshmallow Streusel
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence/FoodNetwork.com

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Yield: 12 servings

12 large sweet potatoes
3/4 cup (11/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup toasted pecan pieces
1 cup miniature marshmallows
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash the sweet potatoes, scrubbing them well to remove any dirt. With a fork, prick the sweet potatoes in a couple of spots and place them on a sheet pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center goes in easily.
In a large bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar, and flour together until it's crumbly-looking. Add the cinnamon, salt, pecans, and marshmallows; fold the streusel topping together to combine.
Slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise down the center and push the ends towards the middle so it opens up. Stuff the sweet potatoes generously with the streusel topping and return to the oven. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and brown.

Big thanks to my fave people in the whole wide world (my children not included!)
