I fell in love with the sweet potato pancakes at Cracker Barrel. I decided to come up with my own healthier version. This sweet potato banana pancake recipe is what I put together, and it is a hit every single time I make it! Not only are the pancakes delicious, but they are also very good for you. Win-win! These pancakes are loaded with nutrition and taste delicious with pretty much any topping, so add the topping of your choice. I like honey, agave, or the maple agave syrup from Trader Joe's. Enjoy!

Lemon Coconut Cupcakes
This is a great cupcake recipe that I created. Lemon and coconut together is such a tasty combo. You can substitute lime zest for the lemon zest in the frosting to make lime coconut cupcakes instead. You can also add no zest at all to make regular coconut cupcakes.
Squash Pie
A wonderful use for fall squash. If there is too much filling, surplus may be baked in custard cups set in pan of hot water. Do not bake together with the pie, because the steam from the water will make the pie soggy.
