You can blend the sweet potato in this recipe into a completely smooth paste but personally I like seeing all the little bits of potato throughout the bread. It’s basically a pound cake with a delicious twist and not unlike banana bread and traditional pound cake the recipe is super easy and forgiving. While the cooking time seems very long it actually does need the entire time otherwise it will be surprisingly soupy in the middle. However, your reward will be a warm house that smells delicious.

Here’s my menu for this week. I usually make all or almost all of everything listed on a given menu though I tend to eat things out of order (sometimes you’re just not in the mood for something or you don’t want to cook a complex dish on the weekend like you thought you would). You can always see the food I actually made on Friday when I post my weekly lunch compilation on @mabmadefood. As usual this menu only has lunches and dinners because we always eat the same breakfast.

I accidentally made this soup with bulgur wheat instead of barley once but it’s also similarly delicious. This soup is one of those hearty, thick soul satisfying things that sticks to your ribs and is perfect on a chill fall or cold winter afternoon. I cooked it down so that it was incredibly thick but you can stop it well before this point if you like a looser soup.

For whatever reason whenever I find scone recipes they’re always covered in some sort of frosting or topping and it feels like the only reason to do that is if you dry out the scones so much that you need a goo on top to retain moisture. Well, the original recipe for these scones also had a chocolate frosting and I just don’t think you need it at all especially with how much ooey-gooey chocolate is inside. At the worst you can warm these up for 15-20 seconds in the microwave to get a softer texture right before eating.

These cupcakes are super soft thanks to the coconut cream and they pack a pretty good flavor punch too. I think they vaguely remind me of a tropical drink I once had but mostly they just taste like good coconut cake with a really tart lime crunch of icing on the top. These would be great for a summer birthday or a BBQ.
