While up in the north georgia mountains this past weekend picking apples, I stumbled upon this intriguing looking jar inside the store next to the orchard.
I don’t know about any of you, but I have never heard of sweet potato butter! I had to have it!!
Since it’s arrival in my kitchen, I’ve had it on apple slices…
On top of my oatmeal…
On my toasted English muffins with PB…
On more apple slices with cinnamon…
And I’ve eaten it straight out of the jar. 1/3 of this jar is g.o.n.e. GONE! 
I should’ve bought 20 more jars of this stuff!!! It’s amazing!!!
Plus, I got the no sugar added, so it’s only 10 calories per tablespoon! 
It’s basically like sweet potato in jelly form. That’s the best description I’ve got. 
So this week did not start out too smoothly. Nothing big happened, just lots of little stuff kept going wrong yesterday. But I had a much better day today!! And fur daughter Ripsey never fails to cheer me up! Isn’t she just adorable?!
Only problem is
she’s not so
tiny anymore!
We took her for her yearly check-up on Saturday, and my little piggy has gained 10 pounds in the last year!! So, we’ve already downsized her portions and I’ve taken her out for walks and runs and plan to keep it up! I suspect she is sneaking in on our other dog Cooper’s food when we’re not looking. She’s a food bully for sure. She will eat anything and everything. And I mean everything. Maybe Ripsey should have her own “Progress” page?!?!
Hope all of you are having a great week so far!! Or if you’re like me, you’re already counting down the days until the weekend!!!!!!! Have a good evening!!
Hey Em! I’ve never heard of sweet potato butter – it sound delicious though! Yum yum yum.
Ripsey is so cute! She looks very hugable. I’m going to send you a reply email soon – hope you have a good night!
That sweet potato butter looks delish. What is it made of?
Great question! (Such a teacher!!
) The ingredients listed are sweet potatoes, lemon juice, water, cinnamon, and splenda.
WOW – you should have bought 20 more jars – that sounds SDG! And tiny dog…???? Aw, but my fur granddaughter is really cute in that shirt!!!!!!!!
Oh yes, already counting the days until the weekend.
The sweet potato butter is intriguing. Interesting find.
Anything with “butter,” and I’m there!! That sounds interesting, for sure. TJ’s needs to pick that idea up!!
Ripsey is SO cute – especially in that shirt! I’m sure with the added walks and downsizing on the food, she’ll be svelte in time for the holidays.
OMG that sweet potato butter looks amazing! All the things I could put it on:)
Omg I want it!!! I am determined to track some down
That sweet potato butter looks soo good! That’s gotta be fairly easy to make, think i’ll have to google a recipe! I love sweet potatoes.. yum!! Hope your dog slims up for ya! Will you post before/after pics?

Sweet potato butter sounds so good! Think I’m making a trip to an apple orchard this weekend and I may have to look for that!
Poor Ripsey– she inherited the Francis hips!
Your snausage doggie totally had me LOLing!
I just stumbled upon your blog after seeing your guest post on CarrotsnCake, but I’m glad I did! I am obsessed with sweet potatoes, and had no idea such a thing as sweet potato butter exists- yum!
