Roasted Brown Sugar Pecan Sweet Potatoes Dessert
Speaking of a small dessert plate, today I’m sharing a delicious recipe that my daughter created over the holidays, that I’m just now getting around to sharing, Roasted Brown Sugar Pecan Sweet Potatoes Dessert.
What a treat, such a delicious bite of warm sweet potatoes, served as a dessert!
It’s not too much, and so elegant!
Of course, just like a good friend in your life, the ice cream is the perfect added touch.
And I love the flavor of vanilla!
Small to-do lists
I’m realizing that I can only juggle a small dessert plate now, where it used to be a giant serving platter!
How true is this?
When we think we can do it all, and we never slow down, it takes a hit on us and our family. Many of us have learned this.
But now, our small to-do lists even seem big! We wrestle with ever getting through our “small” list of the day!
My tips to staying productive without fatigue:
- Pray for wisdom and listen in the mornings. Sit in silence.
- Prioritize a to-do list and write it down–do the night before.
- Do the important things during the first half of the day. Do the easier tasks, that take less mental energy, during the last half of day.
- Exercise and take a break outside. And I go to Crossfit 4-5 days a week.
- Drink lots of water!
- Stay focused: Turn your ringer off on your phone, take alerts off of your phone! I haven’t had any notifications on my phone for years!
- Try to have a plan for dinner.
- By 3 pm, start thinking about dinner, winding down, enjoying family, get dinner on the table or head out to meet friends … slowing down.
- Relax …
- Get lots of sleep. You can take all the Vitamin C in the world, but really what your body needs (and doesn’t excrete out) is sleep and rest.
- Again, slowing down …
And then start over again the next morning.
Gratifying exhaustion is way better than empty fatigue. Ultimatley, our daily habits and routines funnel into where our time goes. We have a lot of friends and Paul and I do prioritze being with family and friends. You, too?
What size of plate do you find yourself juggling right now?

So so good, my friend! You have a way of capturing the heart! As time is so precious, I wanting to do the things that bring joy and are purposeful. This is a great funnel for me! Talking to you fits both! Can’t wait to try this dessert—made with a vegetable, it’s gotta be good for you! ;)
oh man. I would totally love this! I wish my hubby liked sweet potatoes more. :/
I would say I’m juggling a med/large plate with the potential of it being large. Trying to find creative way to make money from home, trying to get youngest through final two months of HS/College, plan grad party, plan NY trip, and just life. Aaarrgghh! LOL.
Some days I feel like I can tackle it like a boss, other days, not so much.
Great tips. I like to make a list the night before, and depending how the next days schedule depends on what I tackle first. I’d like to tackle the more consuming things first thing, but sometimes we have little guys here in the morning and I can’t focus quite as much. Downside is, by afternoon, I don’t often want to tackel them.
