Something came over me tonight and I had to make a quick and easy dessert. This fast yummy recipe always does the trick. I usually have all the ingredients on hand and use our peaches we canned in the Fall. It's also marvelous with apples.
Peach Crisp
1 quart bottle peaches, drained (reserve liquid)
1 TB cinnamon
1 TB flour
1/4 cup liquid from peaches
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup oats
1 stick butter, softened
Arrange drained peaches in 9 x 13 dish or I like to use a round baking dish stone. Pour about 1/4 cup reserved juice over peaches. Sprinkle with flour and cinnamon.
Combine brown sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and oats in bowl. Cut in softened butter until well combined and crumbly.
Sprinkle mixture on top of peaches. Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Top with cream and sprinkle with cinnamon. Vanilla ice cream is also a Show Stopper with this one :)
Most days you'll find me up there. Regrouping, taking inventory, restocking, thinking of funky-weird-sweet-only a mother could love things to make for my Boutique this Fall.
I'll occasionally come out to post a craft and a recipe or two :)
Wishing you all a pretty week ahead :)

We have been working in the yard all weekend and we I started talking about our soon to be campfire pit. I'm very excited about using our portable fire pit and burying it in the ground a bit. It's really pretty and has stone work around it. Let's see, then we'll add some seating.....made of railroad ties and some large boulders. This should make for a lovely place to find stars and roast a few marshmallows. If I were my husband, I'd hide all of my gardening magazines so I would stop coming up with all of these adventures :)
Anyway, this made me think of S'more Bars and if you like chocolate, you're in for a treat!
S'more Bars
5 TB. butter
6 cups miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate morsels
8 cups golden grahams cereal
1 tsp. pure vanilla
Melt butter, 5 cups marshmallows, corn syrup and milk chocolate in large pot. Stir constantly until well blended and melted. Remove from heat, add vanilla. Stir in cereal until combined. Add remaining 1 cup marshmallows. Press in 9 x 13 buttered pan. Cool completely and cut in bars. Keep in covered container or wrap individually. Makes 24 bars.
I also wanted to share our Southwest Burgers with you. It's so hot outside, thought we'd grill. Hope you enjoy these---gives you a bit of a kick :)
Southwestern Burgers
1 1/2 lbs turkey burger or ground beef
3 tsp. chopped onions
3 tsp. diced green chilies
4 oz. can sliced mushrooms
Colby Jack Jalapeno cheese
Kaiser rolls
salsa
sliced onions
Combine burger, onions and green chilies. Shape in 8 thin patties. Divide mushrooms in the middle of 4 patties and top with two thin slices of cheese. Top with remaining patties. Pinch sides together. Grill for 14 minutes, only turning once. Serve on toasted Kaiser rolls topped with sliced onions and salsa.
We had corn and spicy hash browns with ours. Yummy good.....
The pumpkins and corn have a mind of their own......welcome to the jungle :) I've never grown corn before and I have to say I'm a little bit spooked. It was late one evening and I was by myself watering the garden, the wind makes the corn sound so creepy.....I could swear someone was walking by. Makes me want to watch Signs.....love that movie :) Just thought I'd share my creepy spooky corn story. I'd hate to see my reaction with a couple hundred acres of this stuff. I'm a girl, what can I say. Oh and ps......my husband thinks this is hysterical.

these two, well they are always outside together.......
Dolly (aka Gertie), so loving and loyal to Jake. She tries not to mind when Jake thinks she's the dog in Toy Story II, he tries to ride her like Woody does.
you're my best friend, you're my Sunshine.......
nothing better than this beautiful smile :)
