Another year has flown by and it is almost Thanksgiving time. When we lived at the farm we had family and friends over and people who had no place to go. One year I invited a cute little lady I took care of at a nursing home. She was so excited and that is what the holiday season is about giving to others.I know Turkeys are so expensive this year!! I found one at Walmart today for 99 cents a pound. Every where else is at $1.58 a pound for a turkey or more!!What do you serve with your turkey dinner? We do mounds of fluffy potatoes and of course turkey gravy? ( I always add a teaspoon or two of Better than Chicken Bullion to the gravy.) We also make Roasted Honey Sweet Potatoes, Grandma's Stuffing, ( I will be adding that recipe soon) fresh green beans, homemade rolls, fruit bowl, homemade cranberry sauce and of course pumpkin pie or pumpkin roll. I have never been a sweet potato person but these Roasted Honey Sweet Potatoeswill make you come back for seconds!

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet, using two baking sheets if needed to fit all of the sweet potatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Pour over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat.
Roast sweet potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over and roast for another 15-20 minutes or until they are nice and soft. They should start to turn golden and caramelize around the edges.
