Louie’s Cafe / Farmers Market and Sweet Potato Hand Pies

September 3, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 19 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to day 2 in Baton Rouge!  This morning we got up bright and early, hopped on the Limo Bus provided by Riverside Limousines.  We had the nicest chauffeur, John!  He drove us all over the place!!  Poor guy!  A bunch of food bloggers looking for the next food destination to hit!!  John drove us to our first stop which was Louie’s Cafe.

Louies Cafe

Louie’s Cafe is a 24 hour cafe nestled at the North Gates of LSU. The restaurant was established in 1941 and has been a staple to LSU students and parent crowds. Louie’s Cafe serves up a menu that ranges from there famous 10 egg veggie omelet to hamburgers to catfish and even chicken fried steak.  What a great variety!!
Louie's Cafe Menu Cover
Since it was breakfast time, I ordered the famous a 10 veggie egg white omelet with an english muffin on the side. It was amazing and fat in size! 10 veggies!! It has sprouts, celery, broccoli just to name a few. I never had sprouts and celery in an omelet, but it was really good and very filling!!  Yes, I would sooooo order it again!
Ten Vegetable Egg White Omelet
Theresa from The Food Hunter’s Guide to Cuisine ordered the Pecan Pancakes and she was kind enough to share. They were massive and amazing tasting!!!  Don’t they look good?  You know how much I love pancakes!!!  The tops of them were slightly crispy, which made them almost cookie like to me!
Pecan Pancakes
Theresa also ordered a side of cheesy potatoes. Crazy good! That was a heaping plate of potatoes. It was sad because they all didn’t get eaten. I could see them in a food challenge! How cool would that be?
Cheesy Potatoes
The chef’s at Louie’s Cafe were funny and comical. I felt kind of funny taking a picture of them, I’m kind of mad that I didn’t. But I did get a nice shot of the kitchen. We sat at the bar,which is one of my favorite places to sit at a restaurant. I know most people don’t like to sit near the kitchen, but I like it. It’s exciting and I like to watch the chefs cook. I learn new techniques and get ideas for meals.

After our very, very, very filling breakfast we headed to Red Sticks Farmers Market to check out the local produce, locally made desserts, treats, jams and honey.
Red Stick Farmers Market
I saw this sign before entering the farmers market and I just had to take a picture!
Red Stick Farmers Market - Sorry Dogs
The farmers market looks small but it’s not! Not only are there vendors outside selling all of there precious goods, but there is also an inside, set up like individual little stores. It was pretty cool!!

Red Stick Farmers Market Tents


I found everyone in Baton Rouge to be so friendly and proud of there city. My Mom and I hit up the local honey stand to taste some sweet honey. It tastes amazing!!
Local Honey
When tasting the honey, Pete, at the stand was so nice I had to take a picture of him. In return he took a picture of my Mom and I!  I can’t believe he keeps a camera in his pocket!

The Honey Man, so sweet and nice!
I made another slide show for you on some of the different things I saw at the Red Sticks Farmers Market.
[slideshow_deploy id=’15487′]
One thing I ate at the Farmers Market was my very first sweet potato pie. Yes, I admit, I never had a sweet potato pie and I LOVE sweet potatoes!  I guess it’s because my family doesn’t care for sweet potatoes, so I don’t make it at home and was thrilled when I got the opportunity to try it. Oh my it is so good!! So good that it inspired me for today’s recipe. Here is a picture of the pie I ate.
Swet Potato Pie
Here is today’s recipe that was inspired by the the sweet potato hand pie that I had at the Red Sticks Farmers Market.  Aren’t they cute?
Mini Sweet Potato Hand Pie
This my mini version of those delicious Sweet Potato Hand Pies.  These little pies are light, flaky and filled with a sweetened sweet potato filling.  For the sweet potato filling, I cheated and used organic canned sweet potato filling with no added sugar.  If you want to make your own pie filling, just peel a sweet potatoes, dice it up, place it in water and bring to a boil.  Cook until fork tender, drain the water and place the potatoes into a food processor or blender and process until smooth.  With the reserved pie filling I have another recipe to share with you later this week, if I have time to make it.  For the pie crust, I cheated on that too!  I used one 9″ Pillsbury Pie Crust. I rolled it out thinner and took the bottom of a glass to cut out my circles.  It makes it so much easier and I really like the Pillsbury Pie Crusts.

Mini Sweet Potato Hand Pie
To add some umph to my filling of my mini pie, I used maple syrup to sweetened it up! Plus a pinch of bourbon, and cinnamon. Oh my gosh the filling is amazing and so sweet! When making this recipe, you will have a pinch of filling left over. I didn’t take that in mind in the calories of the recipe, so my calculations are a pinch higher than what the recipe really is. What do I with the left over filling your wondering? Eat it!!! It’s so good! Or spoon it in your yogurt!
Mini Sweet Potato Hand Pie

These pies are wonderful on their own, but I had to zip it up a bit by making a bowl of vanilla ice cream, drizzling it with maple syrup and chopped pecans that I picked up at Red Sticks Farmers Market. The pecans are so good and are a perfect compliment to my Mini Sweet Potato Hand Pies.  You really need to make this dessert, it’s so darn good!!!!  I made the dessert as soon as the mini pies are fresh out of the oven.  Oh m gosh!!!!  It makes me gitty and speechless.  The warm pie made the ice cream melt and coated my pie with the fabulous flavors infused in the ice cream.  *Drooling*

Prep time
20 mins
Cook time

Total time

A sweet, flaky, light mini pie filled with a mixture of bourbon, maple syrup and pureed sweet potato
Serves: 14 mini pies
Ingredients
  • 1 Pillsbury 9" pie crust, thawed to room temperature
  • ¾ cup sweet potato, puree (not pie filling)
  • 2 tsp. maple syrup
  • ½ tsp. Bourbon whiskey (optional)
  • ¼ tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp. butter, melted
  • ½ tsp. turbinado sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside
  3. In a bowl, add sweet potatoes, maple syrup , bourbon and cinnamon; mix until combined.
  4. Sprinkle flour onto a large piece of parchment paper. This will be for rolling out your dough. Sprinkle a little bit of flour onto your pie dough and with a rolling pin, roll pie dough out till about ¼" think. With a 3" round cookie cutter or the bottom of a glass, cut 14 (3-inch) rounds. With the scraps of dough, roll the dough and cut out until you no longer have any dough left. I had just a tiny bit of scrap left.
  5. Place about a heaping ½ teaspoon of sweet potato filling in the center of each round. Bring ½ of the pastry round over the other, and press down lightly with your fingertips to enclose the filling and expel any air. You will be making a half circle or crescent shape. Using the tines of a fork, crimp the edges of the dough to seal completely. Place on prepared baking sheet. With a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of each pie with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
  6. Bake in oven for about 16 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with ice cream, a drizzle of maple syrup and pecans or eat by themselves with a cup of coffee.
Notes
Calories do not include ice cream. Please note my calories are a little bit higher because you will have leftover pie filling.

Mini Sweet Potato Hand Pie
Now if you remember I said my family doesn’t like sweet potatoes and I never make them at home, except for fend for yourself night, but this dessert they loved.  My Husband said this is really good! I asked him, do you like the mini pies? He said yah, I do!!  ha ha I never told him they were sweet potato or he wouldn’t like them. Now if you really, really don’t like sweet potatoes, you could make this same recipe using canned pumpkin.  I have done that in the past and it is equally as good! So use whatever floats your fancy!   For the picture you see of the creamy ice cream, drizzled in oh so sweet maple syrup and topped with a light, flaky mini pie, that was for my Husband.  For me, we were just about out of ice cream, so I made a mini and I mean mini ice cream treat for me.  Glad I made this when I did because I bought the ice cream specifically for this recipe!

    Yum! Sweet potato hand pies? They sound delicious! For some reason I think these look a lot like the potato empanadas that my Argentinean friend’s mother makes… though the sweet filling (booze, brown sugar, maple syrup!!!) makes me go weak at the knees. Definitely trying this recipe. Thanks so much Jennifer! x

      Hi Debbie,

      I don’t see why not. I would probably, freeze them before coking them. Then bake them when you needed them. Let me know how it turns out for you.

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?

I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

Happy Wednesday! My bathroom refresh should be co Happy Wednesday!  My bathroom refresh should be completed, I think this weekend? That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.
❤️
I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?

Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I took  advantage of the sunshine and 64 degree weather we had. I did some therapeutic yard work and I planted Pansies, Stock and Ranunculus in the garden. It felt so nice to be outside and to see flowers.
🌸
This weekend I finally repotted my Coffee Plant and Dracaena plant. They had roots growing out of the pot. I have no idea how the Dracaena (plant on right) plant survived. The roots were so dry and it was in about a 3” container.  I looked up the plant and it can grow to 10’. Not the care I gave mine. That little plant is about a year old.
🌸
If your looking for a low light, easy to care for plant that takes neglect, get a Dracaena. I’m proof that it can take neglect.
🌸
Basic repotting plant tips
1. Get a pot about 2-4” larger in diameter then the pot your current plant is in. Make sure it has a drainage hole at the bottom.
2. Use indoor potting soil, preferably organic.
3. Carefully take plant out of current pot, check if the roots are root bound, if so, try to untangle a little bit. Just be gentle.
4. Place plant in new pot with fresh indoor potting soil
5. Give a good watering
🌸
Did you watch the Super Bowl? I wasn’t a fan of the game, but I enjoyed some of the commercials. The Cheetos one with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas made me laugh. I didn’t care for the Doritos commercial with my man Matthew McConaughey.
🌸
Were there any commercials you liked?

It’s finally Friday! Woohoo! I always say to my It’s finally Friday!  Woohoo! I always say to myself, I’m going to sleep in, I never do. I get so excited of all the things I want to do, that I can’t sleep. This weekend I’m hoping to hit the garden store. I really want to plant some Iceland Poppies.

Since Spring is in my head, I created this cute Spring tiered tray. I got all of the gorgeous handcrafted pieces from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. The workmanship is amazing. They are just happy, cheery pieces.

The love birds sign is my favorite. It reminds me of my two Blue Jays that frequent my yard. They are my favorite birds next to Woody of course.

How cute is that sweet little “BLOOM” banner. Eeeee, It makes me want to plant flowers so bad. Crossing fingers that I get too. You have no idea how I just love Spring!
🌷
To get these fabulous pieces and many more, be sure to check out The Sassy Oak. She has a beautiful Etsy shop.
