SWEET POTATO LOAF
I enjoy making this bread because it lets me use sweet potatoes in something besides pie. I found the recipe in an old Southern cookbook, but changed a few things. The orange juice in the glaze adds a nice citrus flavor to the loves. -Ann Jovanovic Chicago, Illinois

SWEET POTATO ZUCCHINI HASH
A simple and sweet treat that packs a lot of flavor. It makes a great alternate breakfast side in place of the standard hash browned potatoes. Try it as a breakfast side with scrambled eggs! Sweet potatoes let off a lot of water as they cook, so it may be necessary to drain the hash before serving.
