Happy Friday everyone! Well here we are in November that means I am firmly planning that Thanksgiving menu. I like to play around and serve different things every year. Now don’t get me wrong I serve classics every year but I also like to mix it up and try something different each year too. So today I am dropping a really cool little side dish. I am making a Bourbon Bacon Sweet Potato Recipe! Yup, there are a lot of ways ot make Sweet Potatoes, so why make the same casserole year after year. This cool little mashed sweet potato recipe will knock every one off their feet and be a total hit with your family.
