Sweet Potato Bread

I made this bread this afternoon. I poured part of the batter into this Bundt pan to share with a friend. I poured the rest into a loaf pan. I thought it tasted pretty good, especially the nuts! We had a slice of this with our supper instead of the planned Fried Apples.


 Sweet Potato Bread

Sweet Potato Bread


1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 eggs
3 1/2 cups sifted flour
3 cups sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
2/3 cup water
2 cups cooked sweet potatoes (I used a 16 ounce can.)
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine eggs, oil, and melted butter. Beat for 45 seconds. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Whisk together dry ingredients and add to egg mixture, alternately with water. Stir in sweet potatoes, vanilla and chopped nuts, if using.

Transfer batter into 3 buttered and floured loaf pans.
Bake at 350°F for about 60 minutes or until done.

Yield: 2 - 3 loaves, depending on pan size.

    I just used part of my sweet potato in a stew but wondered what to make with the rest of it. Bingo.

    This looks like a wonderful tea bread and it's so easy to throw in a few extra "sweets" to make it. Thanks for sharing it with us. Have a wonderful weekend.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
