There are many typical holiday dishes, and if I'm being completely honest, sometimes I get bored with them. I love the tradition, but I get tired of eating the same thing. This roasted bacon sweet potatoes recipe is a fantastic twist on the candied yams during the holidays, but it's sugar free and so delicious!
