Sometimes around Thanksgiving, you just need to step away from the same old recipes and try something fresh.

Feeling bold this Thanksgiving? Here are some unusual Thanksgiving recipes to try…

1. Bourbon-Laced Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

• 6 medium sized Sweet Potatoes
• 1/4 cup of softened Butter
• 1/2 cup of firmly packed Brown Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 3 – 4 tablespoons of Bourbon
• 1/2 teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon
• 1/3 cup of Flaked Coconut
• 1/4 cup of Chopped Pecans
• 1/4 cup of firmly packed Brown Sugar
• 2 tablespoons of Butter

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees

2 Wash the sweet potatoes

3 Bake the sweet potatoes for about 1 hour and then allow to cool

4 Cut a lengthwise strip off the top of each sweet potato and discard. Scoop out the pulp from each of them, leaving about 1/4 inch thick shells intact and put pulp in a large bowl.

5 Mash the sweet potato pulp.

6Add the softened butter and stir together. Then add 1/2 cup of brown sugar, egg, bourbon and cinnamon and whip everything together until the mixture is smooth.

7 Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells, creating little mounds.

8 In a small bowl, combine the flaked coconut, chopped pecans, the remaining brown sugar and butter until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes.

9 Bake the sweet potatoes at 350 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

Whenever you are relaxed, your mind functions well. When this happens, you have a better chance of creating fresh, new ideas for your business that you were just too worn out to think of before you took a break.
