Hello Friends! Before the turkey comes out of the oven and the mashed potatoes hit the table, it’s nice to have something light and flavorful to nibble on. These Sweetpotato Goat Cheese Bites are just that — a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and wholesome.
Made with roasted sweetpotato rounds, creamy goat cheese, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of local South Georgia pecans, they’re a refreshing change from the heavy holiday appetizers that often fill you up before dinner even begins. The pecans add that perfect touch of Southern charm and crunch — a reminder of how simple, homegrown ingredients can turn something ordinary into something truly special.
Beautiful enough for the Thanksgiving table and simple enough for any fall gathering, these little bites are a reminder that good food doesn’t have to be complicated to be special.
(You can find a downloadable recipe below.)



If you’ve ever grown sweetpotatoes in your garden, you know how satisfying it is to dig up those bright orange gems. This recipe is a wonderful way to showcase them — especially the smaller, misshapen ones that aren’t perfect for baking.
Try these variations to make them your own:
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or smoked paprika for a flavor twist.
Swap goat cheese for cream cheese or ricotta if you prefer something milder.
Use local honey or your favorite infused honey for a touch of floral sweetness.
Garnish with fresh herbs from your windowsill garden — basil, thyme, or even rosemary pair beautifully.
These simple adjustments let you tailor the recipe to your homestead pantry and make use of what you already have on hand — the heart of simple, mindful cooking.
Thanksgiving is about more than just food — it’s about gratitude, grace, and the people gathered around your table. Recipes like this remind us that even the smallest bites can hold big meaning.
As you prepare your feast, take a moment to pause and give thanks — not just for the meal itself, but for the hands that grew it, prepared it, and will share it together.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” – Psalm 107:1

I’m here to share recipes and ideas to help others make their home a simple homemade homestead.
