Hey guys, I'm in the kitchen today...making sweet potato pie, pineapple upside down cake and peach cobbler...I'm gonna need a new pair of stretch pants...Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and Mini and I have so much to be thankful for...this time last year Mini was going into transplant...So we are ready for a little family time and good food...

Check out this video I came across on Youtube of the R&B singer, Shanice and her family making a sweet potato pie...hilarious...You may recognize some of the famous people around her dining room table...

...and just in case you wanna make one the right way for your family...here's a pretty easy recipe...
