Sweet Potato and Zucchini Bread
Today I am thankful for my wonderful husband and my beautiful daughters. You inspire me and fill me with love. Sometimes I wish I could freeze time and stay in any one of those amazing moments I have with you all. But then I remember that life moving forward means even more of those moments. Love you three!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. It makes a great day after Thanksgiving morning treat.
