Deep Dish Peach Pie with Streusel Topping
Sep 2, 2011 Crusts, Desserts, Food Things, Peaches, Pies and Tarts
This year has been a slow year for the blog, and I’m really sorry about that. I hope that in the months to come I can remember to take pictures of the food I make and tell everyone about it, but it’s been hard. My job got busier (but I love it), and my dog is so dang cute and playful. It’s hard to stay in my chair when I sit down to write and he comes and looks up at me with a ball in his mouth. I’ve been really happy, but I do miss sharing things on here so hopefully I can get back into it.
I knew I couldn’t let summer pass without telling you about this peach pie though. This pie was amazing. I’ve said before that I’m a big fan of streusel, and pretty much any pie with streusel on top makes me extremely happy. This was really easy to make, and if you are in the market for a peach pie during the last days of summer I highly recommend this one.

Sweet Peach Popsicles and Sweet Peach Tea
Jul 26, 2010 Desserts, Drinks, Food Things, Peaches, Snacks
To continue with peach week I have something to keep cool with. I had originally planned on making shortcakes with peaches and raspberries and marscapone cream, which I may still do, but I was too hot this weekend to turn on my oven. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get inspired to bake something, but yesterday I was more in the mood for something cold. Very, very cold.
I am normally never, ever, in the mood for a popsicle. Yesterday, however, I found myself flipping through the latest Bon Appetit and saw a recipe for Blackberry popsicles. They looked amazing. I wanted one, but I didn’t have blackberries. I did, however, have perfectly sweet and wonderful peaches.

Peach Pie with Mixed Berries
Jul 22, 2010 Food Things, Peaches, Pies and Tarts, Strawberries
Ok, I’m excited.
Really, really excited.
The reason I’m excited is because this pie recipe, is MINE. I created it- and … it tasted fine! It fell apart, but I didn’t mind. I was just happy there weren’t any major disasters.
I decided to make my own recipe… TIME OUT: I want to say right now that creating a pie recipe isn’t necessarily rocket science…. just know that I’m aware of that. Now, where were we? … because I wanted a pie, but I didn’t want it to have a pie crust top, I wanted streusel instead. I also wanted to add mixed berries instead of just blueberries or just blackberries to the peaches, and I couldn’t find a recipe that did those things. I also didn’t want to make my own pie crust… so the dough boy and I teamed up on this.
I used a mixture of the peaches I got last weekend in Porter, which were both the Bellaire and the Red Haven variety. Now, the Red Haven peaches are not particularly sweet, so I added more sugar that I probably would have if I had been using really sweet peaches. Next month, if I make this, I’ll probably use only 1/4 cup sugar instead of 1/2 cup. Just use your best judgement. If you want a sweeter pie, use more sugar.
Look at all the delicious fruit inside.

Peach Week Kickoff with Peaches in Wine
Jul 20, 2010 Appetizers, Desserts, Drinks, Food Things, Peaches, Snacks
I hereby call this week… (drumroll please…)
Peach Week.
The reason?
I have a ton of peaches.
I know I’m starting this sort of in the middle of the week so it’s not really Peach Week, more like Peach mid-week or Peach Weekend, but nevertheless, we are going to talk peaches for a few posts. Since I’m drowning in peaches over here I feel like it’s all I can think about, therefore it’s all I am going to write about for a few days.
I hope that’s ok with you.

Grilled Chicken Salad with Peaches and Strawberries
Aug 5, 2009 Food Things, Healthy, Peaches, Salads, Strawberries
It’s not very often that when I ask Brian what he wants for dinner that he responds, “I think a salad sounds good.” Days like this are exciting, wonderful things when put my creative salad making-skills to the test to see what wonderful flavors I can pull together to compliment each other to make the perfect, crispy blend. I love salad, but I honestly don’t think Brian ever touched lettuce until we started dating, and it hasn’t been that many times since. But today, when I asked Brian what he wanted for dinner, he asked for a salad! **Heart Sings**
