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.

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
