Fall flavors continue to mesmerize and inspire me in the kitchen. This time I’ve moved on from pumpkin to sweet potatoes. {I’m not completely moving on from pumpkin, but Spicehubby has requested I give it a break for a while!} ;)
Since the time change this past weekend has made getting up early a little easier, we actually made a HUGE effort and put in a good 45 minute workout at the gym this morning. It was just what both of us needed after a weekend of tailgating and eating. A LOT of eating… {Side note: if you don’t already know, we had a pretty good football weekend in Louisiana. Our LSU Tigers beat Alabama in a much-anticipated shootout Saturday night. And our most beloved Saints pulled out a nice win over Tampa Bay Sunday afternoon.}
As I was walking out of the gym, I picked up their monthly newsletter and discovered this muffin recipe. Luckily I had left-over sweet potatoes in the fridge and every other ingredient on hand. I walked in the door, straight to the kitchen and whipped these up in no time.

I’ll confess – I’ve never baked with sweet potatoes. And I want to! These sound delicious, pecans are my favorite nut that are everywhere here and almost impossible to get at home in Germany.

These sound delicious and like the perfect way to use up leftover sweet potatoes!
