I normally look for Taste of Home recipes, because I've been so pleased with so many of them. As a sweet potato lover, I decided I couldn't go wrong with this sweet potato bread recipe from Taste of Home. Oh, how wrong I was! This is one of the worst things I've ever made in my 72 years of life. Even my husband, who is kind enough to eat just about anything I put before him, said he didn't like it. How could anyone actually rate it five stars???

Delicious! We tried it with a pineapple butter :) I have not tried the orange spread topping. But it's good as it is! For the mashed sweet potatoes I used instant both times I made this bread.
