Fresh Peach Pie

There are few things that my dad likes more than peach desserts.

So it was only fitting that when I was flipping through Sweet and Simple -- preparing for my second of 10 recipes that I am cooking/baking on behalf of the Real Farmwives of America and Friends-- and saw this recipe for Fresh Peach Pie-- I knew what I was making for Father's Day.

First, I took 1/3 Cup of Flour...

1 Cup of Sugar

and 1/2 Stick of Butter

Mix up until crumbly and set aside.

Meanwhile in a pie plate near you... Take one pie crust and add a layer of peaches.

Sprinkle some of your mixture over the the top of your peaches and repeat...

Peaches...

And mixture... and repeat until all them peaches (and mixture) are gone...

Now put your top crust on and flute your edges... or just press them shut with a fork like I did...

Make sure to cut some vents so this baby can let off some steam... nothing like pent up peach rage... just sayin'

Now sprinkle on 1 T of Sugar...  And pop into a 350 degree and bake up for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden.

Now a word about the um... well... amateur rustic looking nature of my pie... 

As I have shared before... Martha doesn't live here... and, besides... ya know when you go to a pitch in and you see a pie and you wonder to yourself "Is that homemade or store bought?"... 

Well, folks won't wonder when seeing my pies... your welcome...

Dad took one bite and told everyone that it was awful.

I smiled.

That is Dad's way of saying it was so good he wanted it all to himself.

To further his point he took all the leftovers home :)

Enjoy!

Psst... after I made this baby I realized the recipe was by Gerri Phillips of Paoli, IN-- My home town!

How cool as that... I asked Dad if he know her and low and behold told me that it was none other than my bloggy bud Jamie's mom! Small world ;)

Tomorrow I will share my third of the 10 recipes-- FREEZE-O-RAMA style-- Always Ready Pie Crust Mix... perfect to keep in the pantry for a pie crust in a jiff.

Peanut Butter-Banana Roll-Up

There are very few things in life that Miss Add enjoys more than peanut butter... and if you add banana to it, my little monkey is completely sold.

So when this Early Bird was reviewing the yet-to-be released Gooseberry Patch Cookbook, Quick and Easy Autumn Recipes....

And I came across this lovely recipe for Peanut Butter-Banana Roll-Ups by Wendy Ball of Battle Creek, MI, I knew it was going to be an Addie approved GOODe Thing ;)

Ya see, that is what I LOVE about GP... they take simple ideas like this and bundle them up in a beautiful books that make me what to try them...

Ya see we do peanut butter sandwiches around here non-stop... and I love that we now have a different twist to throw in the mix that involves a whole wheat tortilla... and my girl LOVES it...calls it her peanut butter banana burrito. Mommy score!

Ya just take a tortilla and heat it up, then grab your favorite peanut butter... JIF family here... partial to the honey peanut butter especially ;)...

Now spread it out, all the way to the edges

Cover with sliced banana (fluff and/or jam also worthy companions)

Stop for a minute and enjoy the wonder of it all ;)

Now... roll 'er up and watch her smile :)

Have you entered to win Quick and Easy Autumn BEFORE you can buy it? Whatcha waitin' for?

Side Note: I do believe these are the last photos of Miss Add with her piggie tails... she now has the cutest little haircut that I will have to take pics of and show you all. Be gentle though, her Daddy is missing that long hair... but it turns out when a certain 3 yr old says "Daddy please take me to the "short cut store"" a certain Daddy 'round these parts just can't resist.
