This recipe uses canned pumpkin pie mix. I know that a lot of people prefer sweet potato pie over pumpkin. I am just curious if there is such a thing as canned sweet potato pie mix. Can I simply swap out the pumpkin mix and put sweet potato mix in it's place?

I am trying to keep the recipe as simple as possible, so my 4 year old daughter can help as much as possible, but still end up with a great tasting dessert for turkey day.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to the recipe, it is the second recipe on the page.

I need help with unique appetizer ideas.?

The ingredients don't necessarily have to be unique. Something with good flavor obviously, but appearance plays a major role as well. A little whimsy. Savory and dessert ideas. Thank you.

Have any ideas for aThanksgiving salad without lettuce?

I have decided that I will make a salad for Thanksgiving without using lettuce. It will be part of a normal traditional Thanksgiving meal. Initially, I am thinking it should have dried cranberries in it, but wanted to get all of your ideas.

I am leaving out the lettuce just to make it be different.

I want to make rice like we ate when we were living in Hawaii. When they put it on your plate, it stays in a ball and is so yummy. Is this a special rice? Is it called sticky rice? If so, how do you make it?
