Case in point - Jenn at Pint-Sized Pioneering. I have followed her through her attempts at gardening, raising chickens, and sat slack-jawed at the volumes of home canned goods she has put up this year. And, not to forget, she has some really great recipes to boot! Her latest post is of a delicious pumpkin bread that just made me want to jump up and make a couple dozen loaves.
But - I didn't have any pumpkin... or chocolate.... or enough yogurt...
What I did have was a honking huge supply of sweet potatoes... and some pistachios... umm, yeah...
So, Jenn... forgive me, I monkeyed around with your recipe and made something that I think is just as good.
