I made Candied bacon sweet potatoes.
I peeled, boiled, blended some sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and heavy cream
I made some candied bacon with thick cut bacon, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. I baked them in the oven until crispy but still with a little chew.
I topped the sweet potatoes with crumbled candied bacon, and uses a slice of Candied bacon as a spoon. This is a simple side that is sweet and salty. Delicious.

Looks great. Pork and sweet potato is the best combo.
Mine was made last night, but I want to be at my laptop to make the post later this evening.

I felt bad for the delays and the fact that I'm doing doing this from my phone while my wife is driving, but it seems like most people waited until the last minute...

Crab Imperial Stuffed Mushroom Bake
I made some stuffed mushrooms last week and it occurred to me that if you were cooking for a group, it might be easier to do sort of casserole style. And if it’s a holiday meal, what better way to make it special than by having luscious crab meat as the star of the dish?
Making my bread crumbs first, with Hero low carb bread. You could use panko.
Toasted in the oven at 225 until completely dried out, then crumbled.
Mayo, a beaten egg, lemon juice, parsley.
To make an imperial sauce:
8 Oz jumbo lump, 8 oz lump.
Fold the crab into the imperial sauce.
Layer it over the sautéed mushrooms.
Top with buttered toasted bread crumbs and bake.
It is decadent!

I've made turnips au gratin before and it's a good dish. It's also based on a very old recipe. In da Vinci's time, they called it armored turnips
