Caramelized Rum Pears with Oat Crumble

I’ve been on a HUGE fruit kick as of late (which is a good thing considering I’m not allowed to workout right now). Now see with me, I just can’t eat ‘simple’ fruit.  I have to push the limits with stuff.  This dish being no exception.

This looks so elegant and fancy schmancy but it could not be any easier!  This, topped with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream… God…

Give me a minute here.

I need to stare at this just for a few more seconds…

…and drool.

God this was so good.  Like seriously, AMAZINGLY good!

When I put this in front of Mr. Fantabulous his eyes got as big as silver dollars and his smile was just priceless.

What’s even funnier as when I sat the other down in front of me he said “You’re not gonna eat that whole thing are you?”

I, doe-eyed and salivating over this, said “Um…. you’re right, I shouldn’t…but I’m gonna try!”  LOL

To which a rogue spoon invaded my dessert space and proceeded to help me finish it! WTH man?  Yes!  He inhaled his … and part of mine!  LOL
