Hi everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and were able to get some much needed down time. We watched The Secret as it had been years. We were blown away at how connected it was to my husbands new book 7th Planet, Mercury Rising. Similar concepts of energy and thought were discussed. Very interesting!!! I decided to test The Law of Attraction and envisioned fresh roses. Soon I was in the kitchen baking up this beauty. When I created this recipe I made it with love for my husband and for the first time thought to extend that love to ALL of you. My hope was that it would turn out extra delicious so you could enjoy it too. It worked!!! I shared some with our friend and soon it was gone in a flash. When I stepped outside to garden I turned and there was our friend with fresh cut roses! The Law of Attraction in action. :) It was a neat moment that I thought I'd share.
This is an extremely special recipe. I first made it when dating my now husband, Gerald. It was so good I'd use the recipe for special occasions. It was the first homemade item I shared with his eldest son who really enjoyed it. I made loaves for my girlfriends in the office one year and as I was baking the bread, I would insert my knife to check on it. I'd taste it on it's way out to ensure it was worthy. ;) In that process I dropped my retainer in the oven!! I scrambled to get it out quickly and burned my arm. The retainer was okay but I had the scar even on my wedding day! It's since faded. Haha so be careful ladies and gents. Moral of the story? Slow down, pull the loaf out first, then insert the knife. Thankfully it was worth it. The recipe forged a memory in my brain and to this day they ask for the recipe!
This recipe was originally for pumpkin bread and still can be my friends. I just happened to have a sweet potato so therefore it became sweet potato bread. The beautiful thing? I used 1/4 cup less sugar due to the sweetness of the sweet potato. Oh yeah! It's been years since I've made this recipe and I won't let that happen again. It's SO good!! This is a recipe to keep around for years to come. It works every time, others love it and it tastes incredibly good.
