If I had to categorize one store under "sharing & caring" it would definitely be Smart & Final. As I have made it very clear before, I LOVE the Smart & Final stores. Not only the stores, but what they do and stand for, at least in my eyes. Smart & Final graciously offered to host a Thanksgiving dinner for 25+ Service members at my house, they provided me with the gift card and spirits to put it all together.

Sears Toy Shop
With Christmas a few days away, many people are done with their shopping; and I am NOT one of those people!!! With our car breaking down last week, having all the kids home on vacation, Husband going off to Washington, trying to find a new place to move into in 3 weeks, and now a storm; things have been a bit on the hectic side. I feel like I could put an octopus to shame these days...
A classic Thanksgiving dish with a twist
This year is a very special Thanksgiving for us, we are having over 25+ US Military Service Members in our house who do not have a Family to spend it with. Thinking about my menu, I decided that instead of my usual red roasted potatoes, I was going to try something different for them,
"Roasted red yams with smoked paprika"
It is as delicious as it sounds!!
Here is the recipe:
makes approx. 6 servings
2 medium-large (approx. 3 pnds) red yams "Red Garnet,"1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
- Pre heat oven to 425 degrees
- line your baking sheets with silicone liner or parchment paper.
- Cut all the yams to approx. dice sized squares
- in a mixing bowl, toss yams, oil, and smoked paprika.
- spread the yams evenly on your baking sheets and bake for 10 mins.
- using a spatula, carefully flip your yams and bake for approx. 8-10 mins more (depending on your oven)
- Enjoy tender baked yams, while the outside is deliciously caramelized.
Your Family will thank you!
P.S. You can also add a little bit of rosemary for an even more intense flavor!
I do the majority of our shopping at Smart & Final and I was able to buy the red yams for .49 cents a pound!
