Deconstructed Fruit Pie A la Mode

You know... I am a foodie. I think I've made that clear. I'm very serious about food and creativity in the kitchen.

So I had this extra cookie dough and some fruit in my fridge and a

Family Home Evening dessert to make.

That may sound like a daunting task to some but for me, well, psht.... I had this one at "extra cookie dough".

So it's as simple as this. With my creativity I cut my dough into strips and baked them.
(And because I am so stinkin' creative, when I didn't have the right tools, I looked in the kids play dough bucket. Scoured a tool clean and made it work. Genius, I know.)

With my food expertise I decided to cook in a pan about 6 nectarines in 1/3 cup of butter.
Then I plated the fruit.

(fyi- plating is a food expert term for putting the food creative-ly on the plate)
Then I took about 1/2 cup of berry nectar and 1/4 cup brown sugar and cooked that in the same pan until the sugar dissolved.

I scooped some madagascar vanilla ice cream and slapped it on the nectarines (like it was nuthin'), poured some sauce over that, added some fresh raspberries and topped with some of the cookie strips.

The presentation was fabulous if I say so myself. It tasted like a delicious fruit pie that was al a mode (Gary's fave).

I served, I accepted all the expected praise.....

It was beautiful.

And that's what I do.

Beautiful food.

I create beautiful food.

It's just what I do.

I understand that we can't all have this talent of creating dishes.
I'm sure you are good at something....

Beg your pardon?
What?!

You've seen this dish before?

You just saw it on Better Homes and Garden's August's edition cover page?

Oh.... ha..... haha..... I uh.... I was about to say that......seriously.

Some people say that they "adapted" a recipe from another recipe..... if I used my left over Sugar Cookie dough instead of pie crust.... does that count as me 'adapting' this new recipe from someone elses?
No?

And you think my 'crust' looks like french fries?

Yeah... that's what my kids said too.
And BH&G called this dish Skillet Peaches a la Mode, I changed the name, isn't it way more cool??
Oh.

But it tastes good.

Just sayin'.
