Happy Sunday. xoxo
DOUBLE SCOOP
one for you, one for me
Filed under motherhood …
I want…
…springtime. CeCe and I have traded wool for cotton. I usually hate jumping the gun with seasonal clothing. This year I can’t help it. Maybe it’s Joe’s colored denim, pastel macaroons, or my unrealistic plans to start “taking walks” and “going on runs.” Whichever the reason, February can’t fade away soon enough.
How are you prepping for spring?
One for Cece
My lady turned one! She had a great day surrounded by family, pink decorations, cupcakes, and baby dolls.

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.
