  1. I am not Native American, but I also found the “Pilgrims & Indians” play at the beginning jarring, embarrassing and just sadly ignorant. The recipe is awesome. Sweet potatoes are awesome. Making stuff with your kids is awesome. Cooking with your kids on Thanksgiving is awesome. Reinforcing hurtful lies about “friendly” Pilgrims and Indians — even when you are just playing dress up– is just really depressing. WayofthePeacefulTlingit gave you a very honest, vulnerable and compassionate response with a very helpful suggestion on how to fix the error – re-edit the video with a different intro. Fall leaves, Turkey dress up, dancing cranberries, whatever. Just please . . . heed her advice? My respect for you would skyrocket if you could make that effort.

  6. My 3Yr old made the crockpot oatmeal with me after dinner. He is staying home tomorrow from school and we are going to make these biscuits. He is going to be so excited. I wish I had a picture of his satisfied grin when he turned on that crockpot tonight.
    Do you think I could use coconut oil instead of butter in most of these recipes? I love that stuff. Thanks for the recipes 🙂

  7. Hi Catherine~

    When I made it, the dough came very sticky. I followed the recipe and I may have put a little too much sweet potato but would this have done that? Also, I didn’t pulse..just blend?? They taste good, but it was so I couldn’t use cookie cutters..

  9. I feel terrible that you had this reaction to the video. I hear what you’re saying. There’s no disrespect to yourself or the Native American community intended when we made this. I was just trying to advocate the positive spirit of the holiday and try to get kids involved in the cooking process, especially on such a joyful holiday. Please accept my more sincere apology.
    Best,

  15. Would it be possible to sub in a different type of flour instead ? Would coconut or almond work ?

  20. Whole Wheat Flour is little too dense and will not allow the biscuits to be airy and light, I would go with white whole wheat and test it out or just use plain AP. You can definitely use Agave too 🙂
