Ladiesfashionsense- Sweet Potato-Pecan Casserole Recipe


Source: Food Network

We found this healthy take on the sweet potato casserole from the food network . Weighing in under 210 calories, it's a casserole you can enjoy a heaping scoop of without any unpalatable guilt.



Ingredients
5 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/3 cup honey
1 large egg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
Cooking spray
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mist an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a pot with a large steamer basket in place. Put the sweet potatoes in the basket, cover, and steam until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, and let cool slightly. Add the honey, egg, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, the nutmeg, ginger and 1/2 teaspoon salt; whip with an electric mixer until smooth. Spread the sweet potato mixture in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Mix the brown sugar, pecans, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl; sprinkle over the potatoes. Bake until hot and beginning to brown around the edges, 40 to 45 minutes.

Ladiesfashionsense- Orange Crush


Frank Sinatra said that Orange is the happiest color and we have to agree. Orange is still going strong. We can’t get enough of orange seen on the New York Fashion Week runways for Spring/Summer 2013. Whether it’s a tangerine, apricot, rust, hot coral or sherbet shade, full-on or just used as an accent, orange stands out amongst a sea of white and black looks for Spring.

Here are favorite orange pieces.
