Peeeeach!

Whenever I hear the word "Peach" I think of Blake. When he was 2 years old, it became his favorite word. No idea why. It wasn't like it was his favorite food or anything. But whenever we'd ask him a question, he'd answer with "Peach!"

"Blake, what do you want to name your new sister?"

"Peach!"

"Mommy?"

"What?"

"I love you . . . PEEEACH!"

"Mommy I can count! 1, 2, 3, 4, PEACH!"

The phase lasted a few months but I think I'll forever remember it when I hear the word peach.

On Saturday we headed over to the Peach festival at Schnepf farms. No admission - you just pay for what you pick! The kids had a blast selecting the fruit and picking it right off the tree.

They really got a kick out of the peaches that looked like they had bum cracks. After, we let them play around for a bit and shopped in their bakery. YUM!And so today I got to go through my recipes and decide what to make with all of our very ripe peaches! I pulled out a recipe I had saved months ago but never tried -- Peach Cinnamon Crisp Sundae.

The picture doesn't do it justice. It had a cinnamon syrup, the fresh peaches and a crunchy cinnamon cracker topping with a little whipped cream served over French Vanilla ice cream. Tomorrow I think I'll try a peach cobbler . . . If you have any other yummy peach recipes, please share!
