Seeing your mashed potatoes, I wish I served mine on that instead of egg noodles. Mashed potatoes are sponges for flavor!

I wanted to make the pecan butter & I wish I had now. It sounds wonderful. Your dishes look beautiful. I love the sound of pecan crusted chicken and pecan sauce and the cashew salad dressing is inspired. I'm always on the look out for new salad dressings. <br /><br />Little Miss is so cute!
