Multi Grain Sweet Potato Muffins
We don’t eat enough sweet potatoes in this country. And when we do, they usually are slathered in sugar, butter, marshmallows, and maple syrup.

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

Needless to say, many of my mom’s dessert recipes, particularly cakes and quick breads, suffered as a result. The texture was never comparable to recipes made…
