Yukon Gold are my favorite, and I love the idea of combining them with sweet potatoes!

However, I do allow myself to have something now and again. I enjoy cheese too but it is a tad heavy on calories. Not the oldest bowler I know/knew. One woman was 97 and bowling up to the last. Her sister recently quit at 73 although she is still alive.<br /><br />I hope it will work for a birthday party.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-16297823788279820112014-11-28T19:36:26.178-05:002014-11-28T19:36:26.178-05:00I can resist desserts.

I've never done cosmic bowling either so it will be new to me too. There are cranberry bogs in Ontario too, we were going to visit one but they had a festival and we couldn't park. Your cranberry bread sounds good and so does the streudel pie.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-48019256166038075372014-11-28T16:10:15.785-05:002014-11-28T16:10:15.785-05:00I love carrot cake too although I've never att...I love carrot cake too although I've never attempted to make one. That cosmic bowl sounds really cool! I might actually try bowling again if I could go to one of those. Cranberries are a staple around here....since they grow all over the place. I grew up across the street from a bog and my husband worked on bogs for extra money when he was a kid and teen. I like the jellied sauce and I make a great cranberry bread and am going to try a cranberry streudel pie soon.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-14625928663634082032014-11-28T07:29:16.660-05:002014-11-28T07:29:16.660-05:00I know Dixie, I love carrot cake.

If I were playing, I'm pretty sure my ball would end up in the wrong lane! The Cranberry chicken sounds yummy. My mother got me hooked on cooking with cranberry, it really does give a nice sweet flavor to meats. They are great to add in meat balls. Thanks for the sweet potato mash, my father loves sweet potato, I'll have to pass on the recipe to him. Hope you had a fun day bowling!Elise Fallsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14734537117333738468noreply@blogger.com
