Sweet Potato 
& Bacon Galettes with Sage Crème Fraîche RecipeSweet Potato & Bacon Galettes with Sage Crème Fraîche Recipe

Crispy bacon bits sneak their way into these delicate French galettes, miniature pancake appetizers made from sweet potatoes.

Reminiscent of the colors of autumn, the galettes serve as both decoration and savory starter for this Fall’s dinner party or cocktail hour. A dollop of crème fraîche and baby sage leaf assure these bites are fit for all self-proclaimed bon vivants.

Pumpkin Brioche Bread 
PuddingHalloween Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce

Sink your fangs into this ghoulishly rich bread pudding dessert reminiscient of custard and pumpkin pie. Brioche makes the ideal bread choice because of its lavish egg and butter content. We enjoy this recipe baked in individual ramekins with gooey caramel sauce cascading off the top - a sweet Halloween treat for ghost and goblins alike!
