• Bourbon + Bacon this Thanksgiving

    Every Thanksgiving there is always a sweet potato casserole of some kind.  Last year I did a casserole that had a little something for everyone (recipe can be found here) but this year I wanted to take it to the next level. It all starts with Bacon In my family if you want to make everyone happy you can add bacon to it and everyone will LOVE it.  I was hoping this little trick would work for sweet potatoes as well.  You see there are a few people in my sweet family that are not sweet potato fans.  This is proof that not all people are perfect, just kidding (not…

  • Fries without any frying…

    yep…you read that right.  I give you fries all done with any frying, even better they are primarily done on the grill.

    A sweet potato casserole is a MUST HAVE on all of our Holiday tables.  There is just something so wonderful about the rich, creamy and fluffy casserole that makes the Holiday’s something super special.   In the past most of our casseroles have just had a brown sugar crumb topping because some of my family likes marshmallows and some like pecans and some like both and even a few that don’t like any so it was just easier to keep it minimal…well this year I decided to try and make (almost) everyone happy.  I made a traditional sweet potato casserole loaded with brown sugar, butter, half & half and then topped with…
