I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Southern Sweet Potato Pie

2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about one pound fresh)
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk (regular or fat free)
1 tsp. orange zest
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 eggs
1 unbaked pie shell
Whipped topping to serve

Mix all filling ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer on medium until everything is combined and there are no lumps. Pour filling into the pie crust and place the pie pan on a baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven and bake for 40 minutes at 350° or until the crust is golden brown and the pie has set. Place the pie on a wire cooling rack and let it cool completely.  Garnish with whipped cream or whipped topping, if desired.
