Oma’s Cranberry Sweet Potato Bake

My mother hasn’t been well lately, so I have been spending a lot of time reminiscing about her wonderful life of cooking and entertaining. I have several of her recipe boxes with recipes written in her own handwriting which I will cherish forever. I don’t think I realized or appreciated what a great cook she was when I was growing up, but now that I reflect back, I realize she was a phenomenal cook and hostess. I so appreciate all she did for our family and friends. She considered color, taste, and combinations of foods when she planned a meal, especially when she was entertaining. The scents and sights were always amazing in Oma’s kitchen. — Nancy

Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes

When prepping and serving a holiday meal, I like to do as much as possible in advance to have more time to enjoy my family. I’ve taken this Martha Stewart recipe and made it my own. It’s an easy and delicious side dish and gives me an opportunity to use one of my favorite Maine-made ingredients. — Charlene
