Recipe of a Week: Mrs. Marlowe's Pure Happiness Pumpkin Bread

Go Lumberjacks! 

In 1998, your humble host stepped onto the NAU Campus for his freshman year in college. A new life was beginning - a new education, a new direction in life, new friends, and new experiences. Among the new friends that would enter, and happily remain to this day in, my life was Mr. Marlowe.

One autumn Sunday, he and the future Mrs. Marlowe introduced me to one amazingly kick-ass carciofi dip whilst preparing for some NFL action, which became The Danger Zone's first guest recipe of a week. Well, my friends, Mrs. Marlowe is back, with her second featured Recipe of A Week, and it's as good as ever!

And since potatoes are such a frequent 'go to' for side dishes, I thought I would share with you a tasty and incredibly simple recipe which originally called for potatoes, but which got the sweet potato make over.
