Comments Off on Sweet Potato Maple Pecan Ice Cream
Summer is lingering, providing us with beautiful warm days, but as of today I can say that fall is finally in the air, bringing with it fall cravings {enter sweet potatoes and maple pecans}. It’s the perfect equation for an autumn ice cream. Although it’s worth saying that I’ve been making this ice cream for over a year now and it has been a family favorite in every season of the year.

My son’s 1st train birthday party seems like so long ago now but the edible landscape idea is perfect for back to school and it makes eating healthy snacks fun for your kiddos all year. Depending on the age of your kids, they may even like to help create the scene before eating it!

My sister surprised me with this Kit Kat cake on my birthday this past week. I have seen versions of it filled with M&M’s and other candies but I have to say that I love how it looks overflowing with berries. I wish we had pictures of all of the kids sneaking away with the Kit Kat bars and their little hands grabbing all of the berries.
