Sweet Potato Casserole with Apricots [RECIPE]

Although we both love sweet potatoes, whether they are simply baked, cut into wedges and roasted, or turned into our fan-favorite sweet potato spoon bread. But growing up in the South, I sometimes get a hankering for sweet potato casserole. While Heather finds the traditional recipe topped with marshmallows too sweet for her liking, she actually enjoys eating this version because it is subtly sweetened with the secret ingredient: diced dried apricots! Nearly all the ingredients in this dish are orange, so your family probably won’t even notice the apricots are in there until they take a bite and ask, “What’s that I’m tasting? It’s yummy!” It makes for a fun guessing game and a tasty side.

Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting [RECIPE]

If you’re like us, you may find that bananas always seem to ripen before we can eat them all. Since we hate to waste food, we usually wind up using those very ripe bananas to bake up a batch of Banana Nut Bread or Banana Crunch Muffins. But sometimes we just get a hankering for something sweet. That’s when this delicious Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is just what the doctor ordered. It is tall, beautiful, and super moist and the citrus zest adds just the right amount of brightness. Best part of all, you probably already have all the ingredients on hand. Enjoy!
