Bit by the Baking Bug...

I don't know what got into me today, but I've baked/made five things in the last couple of hours!

Pecan Pralines (pure sugar, so sweet)
Coconut Lemon Loaf Cake (smells fabulous and has a lemon-y coconut glaze)
Banana Coconut Muffins (these smelled crazy awesome while baking)
Oatmeal and Toffee Cookies (I'll post this recipe later)
and
Praline Toast Spread

These are all recipes I've wanted to make for a little bit. I originally wanted to make the pralines as a second Fat Tuesday dish since they are typical of New Orleans, but I wasn't motivated. As you can see coconut is an ingredient in three of the recipes. I had part of a bag I needed to use up. Also, I didn't intend for praline to be a theme, but it turned out that way! I don't think the toast spread is truly a praline, but that's the recipe name!
