Sweet Potato Praline Cake {Share the Love}
This Sweet Potato Praline Cake is a combination of our favorite Praline Banana Nut Muffins and heavenly Sweet Potato Casserole with Brown Sugar & Pecans. I debated back and forth on what to name this coffee cake. The cake itself is sweet, yet in a subtle way and oh so moist. The praline topping is amazing. Definitely reminiscent of a favorite Thanksgiving side dish. I thought I’d let these pictures do most of the talking. Enjoy!

Homemade Blondies {Feeling the Love}
I logged onto my computer this morning and was greeted by 85 new Facebook friends. Whoa! Those of us who use Facebook to promote our blogs have been feeling a little bewildered lately.

The way to fix that, at least in their eyes, is to pay to “Promote” our posts.

Oven Baked Lobster Tails
Oven Baked Lobster Tails. Lobster. What a treat. Growing up in New England I looked forward to our annual Lobster & Clam Bake each summer. Steamed lobsters, little neck clams, corn on the cob, new potatoes and lots and lots of melted butter. We’d cover the picnic table in newspaper before pouring out a layer of steamed seafood love. Everyone up to their elbows in the sweet juices.

Oatmeal Cookies {Share the Love}
My sister happened on a treasure a couple of weeks ago. She found a recipe box filled with family favorites. I was giddy, she was giddy. We spent an hour on the phone reminiscing over each one. When we got done I had written out a half a dozen that I had to make in a hurry. These Oatmeal Cookies were first up.

Pepin Potatoes {aka Smashed Potatoes}
We affectionately call these “Pepins.” Jacques Pepin has shared many wonderful recipes with the world, but these potatoes were a gift to us all. Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes braised in buttery chicken broth, then gently ‘smashed’ and allowed to caramelize in the pan.
