Jewels of summer

-
I put to good use today the orchard-fresh peaches that I purchased at Callaham's....I baked a succulent peach-blueberry crisp. Topped with a scoop of low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt, it was heaven in a bowl.

And not a dessert to make you feel guilty afterwards, either, mind you. I took the liberty to alter the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook recipe to make it more Meg-friendly (i.e., health-conscious)....I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of white, used raw cane sugar instead of granulated, and organic steel cut oats in place of regular. It's always a risk to switch things out like that, but this time, it resulted in a winner (thus said our tastebuds).

One bite of anything peachy, and your mouth turns into a slow smile. "Mmmm...it's summer." May summer last forever.

I haven't given props yet on my blog to someone who inspires me culinarily more than most.... Paula Deen. It's not that she uses extra-technical savviness or know-how....it's just that she is a warm, Southern, hospitable lady who loves to cook for others. Though her recipes are not exactly on the list of the American Heart Association's "top ten" (by far), I turn to her sometimes....after all, what's life if you can't have a treat every now and then? I watch her show with enthusiasm....I look at her outfitted kitchen with a bit of envy....and I want so badly to crash through the television screen and get a hug from her cheery, grandma-self. I'd love to spend a day with her and just listen to her wisecracks and funny old sayings. And then, there's the food itself that she creates..... In honor of her, I am whipping up a batch of sausage balls this afternoon to serve at home group's "brunch" tonight. I am not the only home group

Death By Chocolate Cookies....amended

-
For one of the hundreds of parties we are to attend this year during the holidays (or so it seems!), I wanted to find something rich, finger-food-style, and oh-so-chocolatey. Our electric power was restored by this time (we had an ice storm, in case you don't read my other blog), but our cable internet was still out. Thus, I had to resort to magazines and cookbooks to plan this week's menu (yes, the old-fashioned way!). I found this recipe from Baker's chocolate company, and I amended it to make it a little less sweet and a little more chocolatey. Pure yumminess. BAKER'S DEATH BY WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES 1 pkg. (8 squares) Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate 3/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar 1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter, softened 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 c. flour 1/4 tsp. baking powder 1 pkg. (6 squares) Baker's Premium White Baking Chocolate, coarsely chopped, or 1 cup Bakers' White Chocolate Chunks (I used semisweet chocolate chunks instead) 2 c. chopped

A mix for trails....or for at home

-
I love trail mix. In fact, I love mixed cereal. I guess I love food in harmony. I started my real affection for trail mix while working at a local health food store while in college. I loved the way the salty, crunchy, sweet, and chewy flavors and textures melded together to create the most perfect snack imaginable. I still get giddy whenever I purchase the ingredients to make more trail mix. I take it whenever I go hiking, yes....but I also adore keeping a stash at home. With a new split-level home, I'm sure I climb up and down each day about as much as I would on a hiking trail....and this stuff does the trick to keep my energy stores up and running! Every time is different, but here's what I usually toss in: - Unsweetened flaked coconut - Raisins - Banana chips - Dried papaya - Dried pineapple - Dried apple - Cheerios - Almonds - Roasted peanuts - Chocolate or carob chips I highly suggest you try it as an alternative to potato chips or other guilty snack. Kids love it, t
