Instructions
For Yam and Apples Bake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish. Spread the yams or sweet potatoes and apples in the casserole dish. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt, cooking and stirring until sugar has dissolved. Pour over yams and apples. Sprinkle pecans over top. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. When yams are soft, uncover and cook for another 10 minutes.
For Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Bundles
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pre-cook the bacon until it is halfway done. Drain and set aside. Bend the asparagus until they snap. Discard the stem portion of the asparagus. With a potato peeler, trim the bottom part of the asparagus. Rap two pieces of bacon around four large or 6 small asparagus. Place all four bundles in a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over asparagus and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes or until bacon is crisp and asparagus are tender. Remove from oven and place on a serving platter. Chop hard boiled eggs. Sprinkle over asparagus bundles. Finish off with a sprinkling of French’s fried onions.
For Cranberry Cream Cheese Pockets:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a mini muffin tin. Roll out container of cinnamon rolls on a floured surface. Gently pinch together the seams to create one large sheet. Cut into approximately 2 inch squares or large enough to fit a mini muffin tin. Press the squares into the tins. Place a 1 inch square of cream cheese into the crescent pockets. Top with 1 heaping teaspoon of the cranberry sauce. Sprinkle pecans into each pocket. Bake for 15 minutes or until pockets are golden brown. Serve immediately.
