Gluten-Free Garnet Yam Honey Cake with Sticky Plum Sauce


When it comes right down to it...
Dirty dishes are a blessing.
Having leftovers 3 days in a row isn't so bad.
Eating beans instead of a savory steak for dinner really is enough.
I am far beyond blessed. Some don't have 'bean nights', a sink full of dishes, or leftovers made of leftovers.

What's worse? Some are the growing little ones that will determine what happens to our world in 10, 20, 30 years... that is, if they can make it that far. In a country where food blogging is what we do for fun ;), malnutrition and starvation aren't issues we usually face on a day to day basis. There is something we're all familiar with, though. You know what it is. Love. We're all hungry for that.

Meet a physical and emotional need while doing one of your favorite things? Yep, that's right. The first part of that question should be the incentive. Get involved in this fundraiser. If you want to see the recipe, find out how by visiting that site, you'll be glad you did... and so will someone else.
