    yam spice superhero muffins

    Today I have an awesome, healthy recipe for you AND a cookbook giveaway! The recipe is for yam spice superhero muffins, and it’s from the brand-new cookbook: Rise & Run.

  • Sweet potato tacos

    It’s almost Cinco de Mayo! Let’s make some tacos. No, those aren’t carrots. They’re pieces of sweet potato, cut into carrot-like shapes. Stick with me here.   Back in Annapolis, Toby and I got into the habit of going out for Taco Tuesday. Most of the time, that meant meeting our friends at Paladar for margaritas, fresh guacamole, […]

  • Purple sweet potato pie bars

    Thanksgiving is full of browns and oranges, with the occasional pop of red.
