9/15 Sweet Potato Pecan Date Bread

I have a biological clock that is timed by seasons and food  as opposed to furthering my lineage. The first cool day my body told me,    “Must bake now. Must use sweet potatoes.” I heard the call and this is what I came up with. This bread is nutrient dense, delicious and easy to […]

8/26 Striped Stuffers w/ Black Quinoa
