Pie pastry
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more to dust, 300 gms
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 lb COLD unsalted butter, (2 sticks) diced into 1/4" pieces
8 Tbsp ice water
Note: this makes 2 pie crust, but my pie pan is very deep, so I have to use 1 1/2 of the crust to fit my pan. If you have a regular 9 in pie dish then this should make 2 pies. DON"T skip freezing it after fitting it into the pie dish. My above linked classic sweet potato pie recipe has a shortening/butter crust that does not require this step.
Sweet Potato Pie
3 1/2 cups premade filling
1 cup heavy cream
3 tbsp butter
3-4 eggs ( i used 2 but i think 3 -4 would be better for how deep my pie is to make is more firm)

Sweet Potato Rolls
4 cups flour, 480 gms ( this is the MAX amount needed) You may need a bit less

1/2 cup milk
3 tbsp butter ( plus more to rub into the rolls)
1 egg
1 cup sweet potato puree
1 tbsp heavy cream or 1 beat of egg to brush on the rolls

First Slice Tip: To help remove the first slice of pie, try cutting two slices of pie instead off one. This should help release that first cut with tearing it so bad.

I love Thanksgiving dinner! That is my most favorite dinner ever! On Thanksgiving, which was two days ago, my family and I were all very busy. Mommy was preparing the turkey. I was helping my youngest brother Jeremiah boil the corn. My little brother Isaiah was making delicious salty potatoes. My other little brothers Seth, Zach, and Jed, were all making egg rolls. Since my family is half Southeast Asian, we always make egg rolls during Thanksgiving. When I came back from taking out the trash, I saw some Thanksgiving food on the wheelchair ramp. I carried them both in. It was a cooked turkey and other Thanksgiving foods. It was from Jed's former teacher, the one he had when he was in elementary school. During dinnertime, my maternal grandfather, my maternal aunt, and my maternal uncle, came over. Grandpa brought over some Asian sausages and beef jerky. Dop brought over a plate of fruit styled like a rainbow. Uncle Thanome brought over some Diet Coke. We all ate our Thanksgiving dinner. Daddy only ate some turkey and egg rolls since he had a stroke almost 11 years ago. We ate lots and lots of food. I had turkey and gravy, some stuffing, some corn, some of Isaiah's salty potatoes, some sweet potatoes, some mashed potatoes, and some green beans. Grandpa told us that his young wife and 7-year-old son were celebrating Thanksgiving together in Laos. Truthfully, Thanksgiving is every day. Every kind of dinner is a Thanksgiving dinner.

@@CamirrasKitchen ok that what I'm gonna do, thank you girl!

[@marlies7444]

A number of years ago I stopped making the whole turkey, and got some real good quality tukey lunch meat slices from Sam's or Costco. They are cut a bit thicker. Made gravy and our favorite sides. As we got older we just did not even care for the turkey, we always eat the sides, as it is our favorite anyway. So now we just make the sides and some gravy for the mashed potatoes. I use the better than bouillon broth and doctor it up with herbs and spices. We still eat meat, but the sides have always been our favorite, so we don't miss it. Once in a while we might have some turkey slices. Just depents on what we feel like. We always have homemade mashed potatoes with gravy, mac and cheese, green bean casserole, roasted veggies. Last year was the first time we had corn pudding, will do that one again.
