Sweet Potato Crunch Casserole ...p66

Oh. my. gosh.

I love sweet potatoes anyway, but topped with this crunch, love reaches a new super sweet delight!  It's as if a package of pecan pralines was crumbled all over the top.  If you're diabetic, you might wanna not tempt yourself here....

The critic went wild over this side dish.  I share her delight and have decided I will use this topping (not the sweet potatoes) as the crunchy topping in every apple crisp recipe from now on.

Healthy Potato Skins ...p17

If you're thinking, "yuk, I don't want anything this healthy!", think again.  There are some indulgences in these:  cream cheese, bacon, buttermilk - that counteract the spinach.  But don't leave out the spinach!  Truly a delightful combination of ingredients, that complemented the Italian Chicken I served alongside. 

I was a tad confused as to whether this recipe intended for me to "twice-bake" the potato - that is, restuff the mixture into the potato and bake it again; but, I figured that was the intent by its name "Healthy Potato Skins," so that's what I did.  Let me know, Rach, if I'm wrong!
