Cranberry Streusel Sweet Potatoes
"Delicious, not especially sweet and simple! A great addition to your holiday table. I used 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs instead of the soft crumbs and it made a lovely crunch to the topping. You may make the sweet potato part the day before and then cook with streusel 30 minutes before serving."

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
