Chiffon Sweet Potato Tartlets

What could be more enticing than a tart or a pie with smooth sweet potatoes filling. The color and texture is so appealing and so light, it is pure indulgence. Sweet potatoes/yams are in abundance this time of the year and to keep up with the Holiday Spirit, add Holiday Spices to the tarts/pies and kick up a notch.

Bacon Wraps

When you have a potluck dinner to attend and don't feel like messing up the kitchen with so many pots and pans to clean after the cooking.  Think of bringing these Bacon Wraps - there is not much cleaning to do except washing the baking rack and the baking sheet does not need cleaning as it has been foil lined, so just throw away the greasy foil.  Oops,  there is still the knife that is used to cut the bacon in half and a plate to be cleaned, the plate that is used to microwave the bacon . The best part in this recipe is that you do not need a grocery list - just 3 ingredients.
