Sweet Potato Dumplings
From the
Tide’s Way
kitchen of Sandy Cameron
Note: Sweet potatoes have great nutritional value and are full of antioxidants, which sort of balances out the naughtiness of the butter and sugar.
Ingredients:
2 pkg. sweet potato patties
2 pkg. crescent rolls
1 ½ sticks butter
2 cups sugar (This has been tried with Splenda and came out fine)
2 cups milk
1 heaping TBSP cornstarch
Chopped nuts – optional
Directions:
Open and roll out crescent rolls and cut them in half.
Cut the sweet potato patties in half.
Roll the halved sweet potato patties in the crescent rolls and place in a greased 10”x13” casserole dish.
Combine cornstarch with the cold milk, then stir in the sugar and butter.
Bring to boil in a saucepan, then pour over the rolled patties.
Spray top with cooking spray and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes
Serve with or without vanilla ice cream.
Acknowledgements
A writer’s task seems like a one-man job, but it’s anything but. While we write our stories sitting alone at our desks, there are always those without whom the story would not be possible. For Healing a Hero, I have to thank Christopher Bergeron and John McHale, who patiently answered my questions about the life and service and what it means to be a Marine.
Thank you to Chris, especially, for your input regarding the MRAP vehicles Marines ride around in and how my hero might have gotten injured. I need to thank David Lomaglio, my physical therapist, who explained what my hero might experience in therapy after his injury as well as what the therapist’s responsibilities would be. Dolores Wilson is a marvelous cook and provided the idea and recipe for Philip’s favorite dessert.
My dear friend Nancy Quatrano was invaluable in reading chapters here and there and offering thoughtful ideas and comments when I wasn’t sure if I was on the right track. Pegeen Brent and Glo Ferguson are my brainstorming partners who helped fill holes when I fell into them, Susan Keirnan Lewis for her critique and Betty Johnston who read and cheered me on.
I can’t forget my wonderful editor Deborah Smith for her continued trust in me as a writer, and for the rest of the wonderful staff at Bell Bridge Books who put together awesome covers and launch my books into life. And lastly, thank you to my daughter Lori, whose little boy this book was dedicated in memory of.
My readers will never know Philip Amico who was killed in a freak playground accident, but perhaps they will see glimpses of him in the little habits and mannerisms that Lori helped me endow my hero Philip Cameron with as an adult.
