You know, when I was mixing upward the filling for these Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes, I was completely underwhelmed. But when I baked them upward for their 2nd baking time, something A-MAZING happened! Yum! I swear, that 2nd baking fourth dimension ... when all the flavors got fourth dimension to meld together ...
transformed the filling into a delectable bacon-and-sweet potato-and-Parmesan delight.
See, I'm a 'picker.' I choice acre I'm chopping ingredients. I choice acre I'm mixing materials up. I choice acre materials is simmering on the stove top. I choice acre I'm plating upward dishes. Heck, I fifty-fifty choice acre I'm clearing the tabular array together with doing the dishes. It's a habit that's non together with hence bang-up for my waistline.
So, when I 'picked' a large ol' spoonful of the sweetness murphy filling acre I was preparing it, I was disappointed at it's seemingly lack of the wonderful season I was expecting. When yous combine sweetness murphy pulp, chopped greenish onion, Parmesan cheese, together with bacon ('cause bacon makes everything better!), you'd hold off a powerful season punch, right? Mmm, hmmm ... wasn't there.
But I pressed on anyway.
And I am sooo glad I did!
As I said before, roughly A-MAZING magic happens inwards the oven amongst these sweetness potatoes ... together with they're forthwith ane of our favorites. So, I decided these had to hold upward what I shared amongst yous for this month's Eating the Alphabet challenge (letters S together with T), hosted yesteryear Brenda of Meal Planning Magic.
