Mini-marshmallows are tearing the family apart

Krisito

Well, not really but they have caused some drama.

I volunteered to make sweet potato casserole this year for MH's family's Thanksgiving.  I make mine homemade whipped with a pecan topping.  Apparently they think that is going to suck and were going to make their own from a ca with marshmallows on top b/c God forbid they try anything different.  When MH told me this I was irate but decided to make 2 freakin' casseroles - one with the marshmallows (which I don't even eat b/c gelatin grosses me out) and my kickass one with pecans b/c I guess I understand that it is how they have done it every year.  But, I mean, seriously, could you not even give mine a try?  It's just_fucking sweet potatoes!

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!  I would gobble all you ladies up with a quickness.

Yours sounds fantastic!
 I hope your dinner goes smoothly.

Some people are very protective of their Thanksgiving food.  FWIW, yours sounds much more yummy!

I can completely relate, this year my mom is making ONE casserole 1/2 with pecan topping (which is better!) and 1/2 with the mini marshmallow topping... because my 24 year old brother is a baby about his marshmallows.

I'd try it!

OP-Are you living in a parallel version of my life???  Holy crap, we have been dealing with the same stupid drama for the past few years.  MIL likes marshmallows, I don't.  DH's aunt always asks me to bring the sweet potatoes (because she likes mine) and MIL tries to undermine it every year.  I even made both one year, and that still didn't make her happy.

This year, she has demoted me to broccoli casserole

You should put pecans on the broccoli casserole just to eff with your MIL.

And thanks for everyone who said mine sounds better!  It totally is going to be.

I am absolutely sure yours will taste better.

 

We always did the sweet potatoes with marshmallows, then one year I did the casserole with the yummy pecan topping and it was a HIT.  I did a double batch and it was GONE.

Don't worry the same sh!t is going on here too.  My S-dad doesn't like my (Blair's) potatoes.  He says they are gross, so my mom is making him some.  Srsly, there is enough food can he not eat something else and just leave the potatoes off?

You would be my hero forever.
