Sweet Potato Bread with Pineapple Butter

 
Sweet Potato Bread with Pineapple Butter     This week, I'm going to begin by telling you that I am a failure. It is mid-February, and I have broken all of my New Year's resolutions. I'm going to blame it on my foot. After all, we always want to blame our bad habits on something. I have been dealing with a foot issue for a couple of years. When I started walking in January, as part of my "better me" plan, the pain literally stopped me in my tracks. After finally seeing a doctor it turns out that I need surgery on my right foot. So, one resolution down. To prepare for post-surgery, when I will be unable to cook, clean, or do laundry (woe is me), I started researching and preparing recipes. Along with this testing came tasting until finally two resolutions down, no more to go. The upside of this is I have great new recipes that I can't wait to share with you over the next few weeks. Excellent sweets, fabulous new main dishes and sides. These dishes will definitely find their way into my regular weekday line-up. This sweet potato bread is moist and sweet with the perfect amount of warm cinnamon and nutmeg. It's even better a day or so after you bake it. The butter was amazing, but I have mostly had this bread without the butter for a fast, easy breakfast. I'm a big fan of coffee, and this sweet bread is great with a steaming cup!

Hi, I'm Amye. I started Not Just Sunday Dinner in 2011 after moving back to Georgia. I grew up in North Georgia and have lived in different parts of Georgia most of my life. After living in Florida for five years we moved back to Georgia in the summer of 2009. I've always loved Georgia, but now Florida holds a special place in my heart as well. I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man, Greg. We have two children, Wes, 21 years old and a third year college student, and Savannah, 18 years old and a freshman in college. Greg and I have started "dating" again. Since the kids only want to see us when they need money

  1. I made this today. I love nuts so I added a few pecans. It was delicious!
    We loved it!!! This will go on my favorites list.

  2. Sweet potato bread is one of my favorite recipes. I usually make them into cupcakes so they’ll keep longer since it’s just the two of us. I love these things!!!
