There’s a neighborhood restaurant in Mid-City New Orleans that is serving up great Brunch eats. Katie’s Restaurant & Bar has been a staple in the Mid-City community since 1984. When you walk into Katie’s, you are greeted with the best southern hospitality. The menu is filled with mouth watering options that will have you thinking about your comeback visit to try them. Drinks were flowing as they should on a beautiful Sunday. The staff’s goodbye greeting, “Thanks Y’all”, gave a wonderful feeling of gratitude and unity. It was such a pleasure seeing people from all walks of life having fellowship, the best Mimosas ever, and Brunch. If you are in New Orleans or plan to visit, give Katie’s Restaurant & Bar a try.

The last Sunday Brunch of 2018 was in NOLA and had to be the greatest in my book. I had the honor of spending it with my fellow members from the Krewe of Nefertiti. The Brunch setting was placed at Jack Rose Restaurant on the famed St. Charles Ave. Everything from the food, champagne, to the decor was breathtaking. We had such a great time in fellowship and the music kept the fun and laughter going. If you are in New Orleans or plan to visit, please give Sunday Brunch at Jack Rose Restaurant a try.

There’s nothing like a great place to sit down and have a cup of coffee. My new go to place in NOLA is Backatown Coffee Parlour. The setting is so peaceful and quaint that you could spend so much time enjoying the morning paper, a good book read, or collaborating project ideas with friends. Backatown Coffee shop is a great addition to places to visit in NOLA.

Let’s add another breakfast and lunch spot to the list shall we. We had such a pleasant visit at Rise -N- Dine in Emory Village and the food was so amazing. This is a nice place to sit back with your coffee and morning paper and enjoy your time. The gracious staff was very welcoming and we even shared a few rival sports laughs. We definitely will be returning for more coffee, and great food.

I had so much fun baking this dessert. I was inspired to try one of my favorite desserts with delicious Goodie Girl Cookies. We all know Sweet Potato Pie is one the southern staple desserts during the holidays. I wanted to add the Goodie Girl Chocolate Creme Cookies as the crust. I must say it turned out better than I thought. Now let’s hope my family allows me to introduce this spin on sweet potato pie at the next gathering (Fingers Crossed). Enjoy the recipe below and I hope you give it a try.
~ XOXO
(1) Box of Chocolate Creme Goodie Girl Cookies
(2) Sweet Potatoes (Boiled and peeled)
(2) Eggs
1/2 cup of milk
1 Cup of Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup of White Sugar (You can also use light corn syrup)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1 1/2 stick of butter (Unsalted)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Melt 1/2 stick of butter and set aside. In a Mixing bowl, place the box of cookies in the bowl and set to level 1 (use the dough prong attachment for mixing). As the cookies crumble, pour the melted butter in and mix for 2 mins. The cookie crust should have a smooth consistency that is easy to transfer to the pie dish. Pour the crust into the pie dish ensuring the edges are covered. I smoothed the crust with a baking specula on the edges to ensure coverage. This process can be as rustic as you desire 🙂
Rinse the mixing bowl thoroughly. Add sweet potatoes, milk, eggs, 1 stick butter (cut or cubed), and sugar. Mix on level 1. Add vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and mix until smooth. Pour mixture into pie dish and bake for 45 mins. To test readiness, place a fork gently into filling and pull immediately. If the fork has no filling attached, the pie is done. Remove from oven and let cool before serving. Enjoy!
Added caramel sauce for extra sweetness

Thanks Goodie Girl Cookies for the tasty cookie flavors to try this recipe
I am so excited to see so many new restaurants fill the streets of my hometown NOLA. I’ve been anticipating visiting Morrow’s Sunday Brunch for quite a while as I have heard so many awesome reviews not alone enjoy their Instagram page. Located in the eclectic Faubourg Marigny neighborhood, Morrow’s laid back style and decor makes you want to stay in NOLA longer. We enjoyed everything from the food, to the music, to the Mimosas. This will not be our last time visiting. New Orleans will forever be home and it makes it even better when Brunch is involved.

I am the family’s go to person when comes to “What’s for dessert??” requests. And everyone’s favorite request is Peach Cobbler. It all started about 5 years ago and I read a recipe on allrecipes.com for a Southern Style Peach Cobbler. After baking my first cobbler, I was hooked and over the years have added my own spin to it. Baking is so good for the soul. It allows you to relax, focus and put nothing but love into the pan. I dressed up this sweet and sassy dessert with vanilla ice cream and a martini glass. I hope you give the recipe a try.

Ingredients:
5-7 Whole Peaches: Makes up to 2 lbs (If not in season, canned or frozen will do)
Sugar 1 cup
All Purpose Flour 1 cup
Brown Sugar 1/2 cup
Nutmeg 1/8 tsp
Cinnamon 1/2 tsp
Cornstarch 1 tbsp
1 stick of Unsalted Butter (Cut into cubes)
Lemon Juice 1/2 tsp
Vanilla Extract 1/2 tsp
Almond Extract 1/4 tsp
Salt 1/4 tsp
Baking Powder 1 tsp
Hot Water 1 tbsp
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F
Fresh Peaches: Remove skin and pit. Cut each peach into 6-8 slices. Place in bowl.
Removing Skin Tip: Boil Peaches for up to 60 seconds. Remove and place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Skin should easily peel. *(No worries if the peaches started to cook, it’s a learning process)
If using Canned or Frozen peaches, drain or thaw thoroughly.
In same bowl with peaches: add lemon juice, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Mix well and place into baking pan or dish.
Bake Mixture in oven for 15-30 mins.
In a mixing bowl: add flour, butter, 1/2 white sugary, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 vanilla extract, 1/4 almond extract, baking powder, and salt. Place on stir or level 1.
As the mixture blends, carefully add the hot water. The mixture should resemble a sand-like texture. Open the oven and pull the baking pan rack forward (not removing pan completely) and spread the topping over the filling. Place rack back in oven and continue to bake.
Bake for 45 mins. The peach cobbler should be golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 15 mins. Serve with your favorite ice cream. Enjoy.
Option: Set the table and use a stylish glass for guests
At Haus of Kelley, we love the concept called signature drinks. We get excited when clients want to customize their drink menu to something festive that matches the theme of the event.
Having a signature drink at your event is a creative and fun way to keep the guests engaged. It is also a great conversation starter because no conversation has ever started with salad.
Drink Name: Coceaux Mangeaux
Recipe:
2 oz Coconut Rum
1 oz Amaretto
1 oz Mango Juice Blend (*We used Simply Tropical)
1/4 teaspoon Grenadine
Put ingredients into shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into cocktail glass. Top drink with cotton candy. Be sure to gently place the cotton candy on glass so it will not touch the liquid (it will dissolve if done incorrectly)
