What’s your favorite food? My answer is always sweet potato. & it’s met with some funny looks.

To be honest, I’m not completely sure if that’s true, but it is one of my top picks.

The easiest and simplest way I like to enjoy sweet potatoes is roasted. I usually have them plain, but I’d love to have them with lots of toppings like nut butter, cranberries, candied pecans, cinnamon butter – & – chocolate chips?!?!?!?!? I’m thinking about having a sweet potato bar party. Do you want to come? What ingredients will you bring to the shindig?

Occasionally, I roast too many and have leftover for bread making (or granola. . . or oatmeal – more to come on those topics soon 😉 )

    My favorite food is definitely sushi, but homemade bread is definitely VERY high up on my list!! This bread looks amazing, girlie! I love banana bread, but would have never thought to pair it with sweet potato! GENIUS! I bet this tastes fantastic! Cheers! 🙂

    There is nothing like a homemade bread. Love the smell of baking a bread. This sweet potato banana yeast bread looks so nice and soft. I love bananas and sweet potatoes but I don’t know why I haven’t combined them yet.

    I love sweet potatoes too Megan, but it has never even occurred to me to add them to my bread. And what’s crazy is, I often buy potato bread at the market because I love it. I’ll need to give your recipe a try for sure! Thanks so much for sharing.

    Oh, I love baking bread at home…in fact, it’s probably my favorite type of recipe to make. But I don’t think I’ve ever made sweet potato bread before. I clearly need to correct that. These photos look amazing, Megan! 🙂

Perfect. • It’s something we try so hard to ac Perfect.
•
It’s something we try so hard to achieve.
•
But at times it can leave us feeling tired, unworthy, and not “as good” as our peers.
•
Trying to get the perfect photo, something I use to love to do, started to drain me out more than fill me up.
•
So I haven’t been taking as many photos.
•
Getting the perfect photo would lead to my family eating cold pancakes while I tried to get that award winning shot. Or an hour of clean up picking up all the leftover sprinkles I used for my fancy backdrop.
•
So this Easter I kept things easy. I shot a few quick photos of these Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls with my iPhone and left my DSLR and natural light to the side.
•
The Emotional Baker of a year ago would gasp that I’m posting this photo.
•
But here’s the truth: Every day’s perfect, even if it goes unplanned. Every meal, every moment with loved ones, every walk, everything you do each and everyday is perfect. And just as it’s intended to be.
•
Here’s to a day of finding bliss in the imperfect and knowing it truly is perfect just as it is.
•
Happy Easter!

Love, Megan - The Emotional Baker 💖🐰😘

Every year I look forward to a round cookie, with icing, and crunchy sprinkles. This year my cookies got a bit of an update thanks to @freshaprilflours and @fancysprinkles.

My wish for you this Christmas is that you can savor the simple things, find peace and feel the love that surrounds you every day.
