A twist of orange juice and nutmeg makes this sweet potato with marshmallow refreshing and bold, while a stick of butter, some sugar and a scattering of mini marshmallows maintain the status quo on Thanksgiving.

5 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cooked
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar

I took my mother's delicious sweet potato casserole and gave it a new twist by adding the tempting taste of orange—a fruit very abundant in our state. The flavors are wonderful together and make this dish a family favorite. —Norma Poole, Auburndale, Florida
