~A Table for 2 and a Recipe!!~~~

 Hi my friends! Happy Wednesay to you all. It is JUST starting to rain here and the snow is supposed to follow soon. YCK!!!!!!! Last week I tried a new recipe, and set a pretty table just for the 2 of us. I thought I would share both with you. I have a complete set of the brown dishes with the dark brown band. I use them for everyday dishes all fall. The pumpkin plates are from Walmart! They are plain but dress up the brown plates s nicely.

 I also like to use my brown bamboo flatware during the all months.

 The brown bubble goblets held apple cider for me and water for Joe. The acorn and pumpkin S and P are from the $$ store several years ago:

 Here are a few shots of preparing the scalloped sweet potatoes. I forgot to shoot some pictures til I was almost done, sorry!!!! I did only use ONE sweet potato, like the recipe says and it was plenty for Joe and I and we had it left over.

 I used 2 apples though, and I didn't have corn syrup so used maple syrup! I say improvise when you have to!!!!

 I had country syle ribs cooking in the crockpot all day and the house smelled wonderful! I just brown them then out them in the crockpot with about 1/2 to 3/4 of a jar of BBQ sauce. That's it!! They fell off the bones!

 We both love broccoli and eat it often!

Here is the recipe  for you for the scalloped sweet potatoes:
