Sweet potato cake for a sweet new tradition

Hearty root vegetables are a staple for fall and winter. We love them roasted or mashed with savory seasonings, but sweet potatoes are also the perfect nutrient-dense vegetable to add to any sweet dessert. They pair so well with fall spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. This sweet potato cake is delicious enough to enjoy as dessert or the perfect pairing with tea at breakfast.

Move over banana bread, pear bread is here

Pears are an excellent replacement and result in an equally tasty bread that serves as the perfect breakfast or dessert.
