Book Review: Sweet Potato Power

sweet potato power

I recently read Sweet Potato Power by Ashley Tudor and I admit that at first, I was somewhat skeptical of a 250+ page book completely about sweet potatoes, but Ashley did a great job.

It’s all been fixed now:) At the end of February, I had the chance to attend my first blogging conference.
