Hey Steemians!! It's Saturday! How many of you still have left of sweet potatoes?

Here's an idea for you if you do. For all the rest of us, this is a great excuse to go get more sweet potatoes.

I am kind of freaking out. I woke up this morning realizing that this month is practically over, Thanksgiving is behind us and Christmas will be here in a blink. Then, the year is over. How did that happen?

So, let's regroup here and focus on today. One way for me to focus on today is to dream up new ideas of capturing the flavor of the season. I know that many of you do not have access to sweet potatoes, but in posting sweet potato recipes, I have had a lot of comments from countries that I had no idea they were so popular. For example, the Philippines.

This recipe is sure fire success. You should try it, YOU'LL THANK ME LATER!

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. Most every time, I cross post on my personal blog which you can find in my INTRO POST.

RECIPE

Streusel:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Nice photographs. Did you use any lighting equipment?

ย  ยท ย 8 years agoย 

thanks for the compliment. No, I only use natural light. Drives my Dad crazy because he bought me great flashes, but I don't use them.
