Of course I have to introduce you to the two lovely ladies that took us all around town; Christy and Katie!

Christy and Katie are just the two sweetest girls.  They really know their town and you can tell that they are just so proud of it!!  They both have wonderful personalities and really made this trip fun!! If you plan a visit to Baton Rouge contact these girls, I promise they will take good, no make that great care of you!!! I plan on catching up with them again when I come back to Baton Rouge and believe me there will be another trip! Christy is the the lovely lady on the left and Katie, who just had a baby and looks fabulous is on the right.

Red Sticks Farmers Market – It’s open Monday – Friday and I think they are open all year round.  It’s a must go to, to find local produce, pies, honey and more!!

Now for this weeks weekly recap:

Monday:  Banana Cream Pie Smoothie – So darn good!!   I promise if you like banana cream pie, you will love this drink and much as I do!!

Banana Cream Pie Smoothie

Tuesday:  Mini Sweet Potato Hand Pies –  I have to laugh, my Husband told me, the pies you made taste funny.  I said really they didn’t defrost right?  No that was fine, they tasted like squash and he gave me a dirty look!  Ha ha  He actually loved the mini pies, but HATES sweet potato!  I told him it was pumpkin when I gave them to him.  He read my blog when he discovered he ate sweet potatoes.  I knew I would get him to eat Sweet Potatoes one day.  By the way, I froze these mini pies and my Husband said he left them out on the counter at work and they defrosted very nicely.  Which is good to know for future pie making!

Mini Sweet Potato Hand Pie

Wednesday: Grilled Cajun Shrimp with Red Beans and Rice – I loved this dish!  It’s very filling.  I had leftovers and took them to lunch, even better the next day.  I ate the shrimp cold and it was still just as good!!

Cajun Grilled Shrimp

Thursday: Jambalaya and Corn Bread – Love this dish and it’s another one that tastes fantastic the next day!! The Jambalaya is hearty, full of flavor, super thick, low-calorie and is a reader and family favorite too!!

Jambalya and Corn Bread

Friday: Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Pancakes with Bourbon infused Maple Syrup – All I have to say is OMG! This is one of the BEST pancakes I have ever made! So moist, that it really tastes like pie and it’s low calorie!! You must make these pancakes!!!  Make them this weekend!!!

I guess that sums it up for this weeks post. I know I promised a sweet treat for today, but my sweet treat didn’t turn out. I tried to make pralines and they burnt. I always burn my food that has to be made with a candy thermometer. I am so buying a new one this weekend!

I hope you enjoyed this weeks post as I did reliving my 2 day weekend in Baton Rouge. I really did have a blast! I never would have thought, let’s go to Louisiana for vacation, but this trip changed my mind. I am hoping to make it back there this coming spring. There is so much more I want to see, plus I want to try a Po Boy Sandwich!  Great excuse for me to go back!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  The winner of the Louisiana Giveaway is Shelly.  I sent you an e-mail.  Please contact me within 48 hours.

Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 days until Christmas? I’m not ready yet!! But I did get my Christmas tablescape ready! 
🎄
I was gifted this beautiful table cloth by @cottonprintclub. It’s 100% cotton, comes in several sizes and colors, doesn’t bleed or shrink when washed. I love the shade of green and it is so beautiful that you can use it all year. 
🎄
I went with a simple tablescape to show off my beautiful plates that I received from @backcountrymercantile. All I added to my table was some garland, candlesticks and of course twinkling lights. Swipe the photo to see my table in the evening. 
🎄
Do you have a food dish that you like to make during the holidays?

I ran and grabbed my dough bowl and filled it with Claire Burke Christmas Memories Potpourri that filled the room with the scent of cinnamon, cloves and Christmas trees. It’s perfect! The potpourri has gold and red accents in it. There are large and baby pinecones with white snow on them, and pinecones dipped in gold. This is the perfect potpourri for the season.
🦌
Claire Burke is currently running a Cyber 30% off sale. No code required. Great time to stock up on Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers. The link is in my bio.

I also wanted to share my gorgeous art work from my friends @12timbers. It’s the perfect piece of art that will work all season long. 12 Timbers is having 20% off everything cyber sale. Code: CYBERMONDAY23

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.
💗
The inspiration for this space came from the stunning pieces that I was gifted from my friend Britni @arcadian.collective. I love her shop! Such timeless, elegant pieces that will last a lifetime.
💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle. Check out my Arcadian Collective highlight for more details on each product. They would make a great holiday gift!

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!
