I was that kid who asked for apple crisp instead of a birthday cake. Made this tonight, served hot with a scoop of ginger ice cream.

Cold, cloudy, drizzly day. Perfect for spicy white bean chicken chili, topped with sharp cheddar, avocado, cilantro and tortilla chips.

Now that is a lattice to aspire to. Maybe if I made it weekly rather than once a summer....

Only Bangers @onlybangers.erinkoffel.com · Sep 10

Yes! Why didn't I think of that....

Thanks for the support! Fresh peaches are the only way to go with pie.

Sounds like a fun challenge. Someday when I have more time and patience...

Only Bangers @onlybangers.erinkoffel.com · Sep 9

yum! I'll try that next!

Only Bangers @onlybangers.erinkoffel.com · Sep 9

All butter, all the time....hard to beat the flavor.

My pies always look derpy but taste pretty good. Hard to go wrong with fresh peaches. Next time I'll add a little almond extract...

It is a really a nice match with blueberries!

Only Bangers @onlybangers.erinkoffel.com · Sep 8

Made blueberry pancakes for Sunday morning! The secret is lemon zest and a pinch of cinnamon.

Thanks! I'll try to get the recipe up tomorrow. It is a deeply comforting dish.

Does anyone else look at the weather forecast when planning their meals for the week? I was excited to see a cooler week, so I made this cheesy baked sausage pasta.

Very few of my recipes from the 80's have made it to 2025. This is one of them. Peanut Butter Buddy Bars for the win

It is impossible not to start the day off right with oatmeal, even if that day is 90 degrees. Apple cider oatmeal for the win.

Made mint chocolate chip cookies for back to school and then absentmindedly snacked on them all day. My daughter got one and a half (eaten) cookie in her lunch.
