Sweet Potato Bread

Several weeks ago someone from church gave me quite a few sweet potatoes. I decided to cook and mash them and put them in the freezer until I decided what I wanted to do with them. 

I was really happy with how easy it was to freeze them. I simply diced and cooked them and then mashed them in the kitchenaid mixer. After they had cooled I put them in containers and put them in the freezer. Easy peasy!

Yesterday it was rainy all day and we couldn't spend any time outside  so I decided to do some baking. One of the things I decided to bake was Sweet Potato Bread. This is similar in taste to pumpkin bread but the sweet potatoes give their own unique flavor to it. This was the first time I'd made this but I'll definitely be making it again.
