I hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving has quickly come and gone, and it was nice enjoying my family without doing all the work. I made just a few Paleo/Grain Free Side items and three different grain free desserts.
The Non-Paleo family members enjoyed! So of course I felt good about myself. They have even asked me to prepare an entire Christmas menu complete with the desserts!
Now I’m just a little suspicious that all the praise and enthusiasm over my healthy desserts were really just to get me on the hook for Christmas dinner. Either way I obliged and I’m ready to get the ball rolling on making our families first grain free Christmas so good we continue the tradition….forever! I’m hopeful.
Bacon, Leeks & Sweet Potato Jalapeno Poppers
The recipe I’m sharing today is one of the appetizers I made at Thanksgiving. Only difference was I used white potatoes at Thanksgiving. They were a hit. I mean they were gone before you could say amen.
When I got home I decided test them again for accuracy and switched it up a bit to add more nutrition. I switched out the white potatoes for sweet potatoes. It not only added more nutrition, it added more flavor as well.
Switching the potatoes were just the addition needed to kick this recipe up a notch.
These will be served at Christmas and I’m sure everyone will enjoy them even more now that I added the sweet potato.
These look yummy. I’ll have to try these out one day.
