Roasted Sweet Potato, Caramel, and Pecan Sundae

My computer is not available right now.

Therefore, I'm improvising.

I'm not real good at that if it involves technology!

I can (barely) post a recipe without my computer,

And adding a picture seems to be out of the question!

For now, I'll give the recipe and posts pictures later!

There is a burger place that we used to like to eat at.

That's before my boy went celiac on us.

That lifestyle sure does change things, huh?

The last time we were at the restaurant, we saw they were advertising their "new" dessert.

DISCLAIMER: We rarely buy desserts when we are out.

REASON: I'm usually disappointed.

REASON: The desserts are usually over-priced, and in my mind, I can make an entire dessert for the cost of that single serving.

That's what I did yesterday.

I remembered the concept of that advertised dessert.

I remembered that I had left-over roasted sweet potatoes in the refrigerator...

Along with ice cream, homemade caramel sauce, and pecans.

I went to work.

Not literally....I'm in Summer break mode with my kids, but I did go to the kitchen!

You'll need this recipe too:

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
