Lime Sweet Potatoes

3 large sweet potatoes, peeled & cubed

2 T olive oil

3 T honey

2 T lime juice

½ tsp lime rind

Combine potatoes & olive oil, spread onto aluminum foil-lined cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 20 min.  Combine honey, lime juice and lime rind.  Pour over, gently toss.  Bake 20 min longer.  Serve warm.  NOTE:  I baked a bit longer than 40 min total…until the outside was a bit crispy.  YUMMY!

¼ cup celery, chopped & sautéed in butter

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of celery soup

1 ½ cup chicken broth (saved from chicken breasts)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  In large bowl, mix stuffing mix with cranberries, add beaten egg and melted butter.  In separate bowls, mix cream of chicken soup with ¾ cup of broth, and chicken soup w/ ¾ cup of broth.  (You now have 3 bowls dirty – but it’s worth it!)  Spray 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray, layer chicken onion/celery, stuffing mix, celery soup mixture and chicken soup mixture.  Continue layering, ending with stuffing mix.  Bake for at least one hour, until stuffing mix is brown on top.
