maple walnut twice baked sweet potatoes

I feel like I’ve become pretty good at cooking nourishing, filling and easy dinners.

But where I often fall flat is when it comes to party appetizers. Let’s face it: As a mom with little kids, I just don’t get to throw a lot of parties.

But with the holiday season coming up, work potlucks for my husband, family gatherings, neighborhood parties and all the fun stuff is going to happen so very soon.

And I finally want to bring something other than BBQ crockpot meatballs or cranberry turkey crockpot meatballs (though I did just share this very delicious honey garlic crockpot meatball recipe… I guess we just really love meatballs?)

Then I got this amazing opportunity to test and research fall party themed appetizer and snack recipes.

Because today, I’m throwing a virtual baby shower with all my favorite food blogger friends. Tada!

SWEET POTATOES:

• 4 small sweet potatoes

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pierce the potatoes with a fork, place in a large baking pan and bake until soft (time will vary depending on the size of your sweet potatoes, anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes).
2. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the baked insides. Try to keep the skins whole as much as possible!
