Here’s what you’ll need to churn out this dessert dish:

• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup oil (preferably corn oil)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg
• 2 cups self rising flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 scant teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

 Directions:

Mix sugar, oil, honey, vanilla, and egg in a bowl until smooth. Next, dump in the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and chopped pecans and stir again.

After that, bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes – it will rise and fall. While baking, mix powdered sugar, water, butter and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk together.

While warm, spread with mixture from previous step.

Finally, cut into bars or squares when still warm.

Serve and enjoy!

Mmmmm…

A special thanks to Mrs. Alice Spurgeon, my husband’s 7th grade math teacher, for introducing us to honey bars!

Setting the table is like putting together an outfit. It doesn’t matter if you are matching a pair of pants with a blouse, or napkin rings and plate chargers, the same principles apply! I decided to keep it simple this year and add only a few seasonal trinkets and name cards, to the table. I did not want to compete with the china’s natural beauty and elegance.

The Vintage Jewel 5-piece place setting by Lenox is a beautiful contrast of  blue, platinum and 24 karat gold against classic white china. Adorn your table with a refined tablecloth or slip an understated charger beneath your plates and you’re ready to entertain. With little to no effort, the Vintage Jewel collection and  flatware will regally transform any dining room.

Rather than the matching Vintage Jewel drinkware, I decided to add some Waterford Lismore Nouveau wine glasses to the mix. I swear crystal glasses somehow make the beverage that you are drinking taste better! There are not enough occasions to get fancy and drink wine out of crystal stemware…so do it up this year. Are you with me?

I was drawn to the Studio Top from Zara, because I could dress it down with some skinny jeans or dress it up with some wax coated black jeans. Because this year’s dinner will be rather casual, I paired it with the most comfortable  pants I own. Also from Zara, The Zipped Army Cargo Trousers pictured below, are super stretchy and conform to your body perfectly. Although they are technically light green, I consider them a neutral because just about anything matches with them. I accessorized the outfit with gold leaf earrings, a beaded necklace, and chunky bangles, also in those desired November hues. To funk up the ensemble just a tad, I added a leopard print clutch (similar here) and Franco Sarto leopard print wedges. Turn it up a notch further with a floppy hat and black jacket if you need it.

P.S. For local San Francisco shoppers, purchase the floppy hat and drape jacket from your neighborhood Ambiance  boutique.

Happy shopping and good luck!
