Special occasions present us with the unique opportunity to be our most creative selves in the kitchen as we try out new recipes, pairing ingredients in unconventional combinations. For example, these sweet potato and cranberry shortcakes bring together fruit with a food traditionally reserved for holiday meals, giving way to a totally new, delicioso dessert. An added benefit: it's ready in minutes and puts to good use any leftover sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving dinner. While I used cranberries, try using other fruits and the final product is sure to be a new favorite among family and friends.
