I got it, I got it!
DOUBLE SCOOP
one for me, one for you
One for Cece
My lady turned one! She had a great day surrounded by family, pink decorations, cupcakes, and baby dolls.

Let’s watch it…one more time
I’ve always thought tiaras should be reserved for 6 year olds and Kate Middleton. The obnoxious bachelorette standing on a barstool really ruined the purity of the headpiece.
Luckily, Zoey Deschanel decided to record this YouTube video and the tiara regained its innocence.
Flavor of the Day: sweet potato bake

There are many benefits to being engaged. Along with the adoration aspects, I’ve fully taken advantage of a new recipe resource – my future mother-in-law.
Sweet Potato Bake
Potatoes:
4-5 skinned sweet potatoes (use yams if you prefer their rich, orange color)
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup white sugar
1 can PET milk
2 large eggs
Boil potatoes for 20-25 minutes. Beat above ingredients with an electric mixer. The results should be smooth and lump-free.
Topping:
1 cup crushed corn flakes
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
Mix above ingredients and spread evenly over potatoes.
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Turn oven temperature down to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for an additional 30 minutes.
Tips:
If using a 9×13 dish watch closely for burning.
The casserole maintains its heat for up to one hour before serving.
Flavor of the Day: Brooks Brothers
Leave it to Brooks Brothers to indulge my love for sheep, cashmere, and Jingle Bells. I wonder if that grey ruffled number is still available…?
