John is on the road for work, so I’ve been on my own for evening meals. I’ve been spoiled the past few weeks, because Chef Beazley was home every night and had a new creation prepared when I got home. As I’m sure most of you can relate, it’s hard to cook for one person. I eat less and throw a few mix and match items together when I’m by myself. Chef Beazley asked me to use up a partially spoiled peach and left me with a couple leftover hamburger buns when he departed. 

My Texan doesn’t eat seafood so I took the chance to enjoy a Fire Roasted Salmon & Aged White Cheddar burger. Ha ha, we enjoy the game of naming our meals!

Then for dessert – my favorite part of meals - which I’ve been known to eat first!

Remember the peach I was telling you about, it was quite sad looking.

So, I made it more appealing.

I discovered the leftover Coffee Caramel sauce I had in the fridge. I had made it for a recipe I found in a magazine; Coffee Caramel Cranberry Compote Banana split – it was divine!

I poured the sauce into a skillet and warmed it up. Then tossed in my peach pieces, to do the same.

In the meantime, I added vanilla ice cream to my leftover candied cranberries.

He he…this was my favorite part, add the alcohol to flambe!

THEN – you light the mixture on fire with a long lighter. **Kids don’t try this at home.** (don’t think I have any young followers – but you never know one day someone may look at this post!)

 WOOHOO! I was quite impressed how I captured this moment.

 After the flame burned all the alcohol off, I poured the creation on my ice cream. Mmm…

Peach Cranberry Flambe

I made enough dessert for at least 2 people, probably could have been stretched with a bit more ice cream for up to 4 people – yikes – I definitely indulged in the entire bowl myself!

Think I went for a rest on the couch to digest OR walked to get the mail! If I could change one thing – I’d have a beautiful pristine white dessert bowl – maybe even one with a funky shape to serve this in!! I’ll add that to my wishlist.

I hope your week is going fantastic. Here’s a hump day dessert to make you smile! Trust you and your local farmers got some much needed moisture, hopefully in the form of rain…
