Cross Peach Pie With Peach Crisp For Best Of Both Worlds

If you can’t decide between making a peach pie or a peach crisp, make a Deep Dish Peaches dessert instead. Imagine a bubbly hot fruit casserole under a golden brown crust. The idea is similar to an old fashioned chicken pot pie. But with peaches instead! I keep the ingredients simple, using a basic pie crust recipe for the topping and canned peaches with the juice reserved. The only spice I use is nutmeg, which adds a nice background flavor to the sweetness of the peaches. A little lemon helps give it a little tangy flavor, too. This is the kind of dessert that looks and tastes very homemade-old-fashioned style. Don’t be too careful with the crust topping, leaving a few holes in fact, so it looks homey and some of the juice bubbles up and marks the top. Read the rest of this entry »

A Handy Stainless Steel Kitchen Tool Set

I realized today that my kitchen tool drawer is a bit of a mess. I went to grab my whisk to make an egg omelet for our family breakfast and found I had to first untangle it from my ice cream scooper. Then when I was ready to flip the omelet, I just couldn’t find my nylon spatula anywhere. Well it turns out that somewhere along the way the spatula had ended up in the drawer with the kitchen place mats and pot holders. Surely there has got to be a better way to function. I think it’s time I actually bought something that will make my tasks easier, like this ECKO 8 Piece Stainless Steel Kitchen Tool Set. Read the rest of this entry »

Time For A Good Pot Of Chili

There is nothing better than a big bowl of homemade chili and cornbread on a cold fall day. While there are just as many recipes for this bean dish as there are cooks, here’s my favorite chili recipe. It’s fast and easy and you can easily modify the types of beans and spices you use to suit your taste. I like to start mine early in the day so it can simmer on the stove for a few hours before we eat it. This allows all the flavors to blend. In fact, my husband things it’s even better warmed up the next day. Read the rest of this entry »
