Well, hubby got home before I did last night and I had asked him to make supper for me. That he did, plus wash the dishes that were sitting on the counter, empty the dishwasher, clean up the living room, wash down the oven... you get the point. Was I ever surprised and ever appreciative when I came home to this! He is ever so amazing!
I just added this frame to our bedroom yesterday. It too is a little piece from our wedding. I had found this idea on Pinterest so we are going to try it out! I love this little corner in our room because its all about us! Those flowers in the vase are from my wedding bouquet. :)
Now onto Peachier matters! A few weeks ago I got given some fresh BC peaches. Clint's first thing he said was ¨Yum! Peach pie¨. Oh Oh! I have never made pie before! Off I went to Superstore to find a pie plate and did I ever go at the right time of year because I got a ceramic one on for sale for 3'97$.
I was anxious to see how it tasted because it was a pretty basic pie, but everyone seemed to enjoy it.
Next was a recipe that I had found on Pinterest and was dying to try: Peach Cookie Crumble Bar
You Need:
Cookie Layer:
1/2 butter (room temp)
3/4 brown sugar
1 egg
1tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Peach Layer:
2 peaches
1Tbsp flour
1Tbsp brown sugar
Crumble Layer
1/2 cup brown sugar
2Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup butter (melted)
What You Need To Do:
1. Preheat oven to 350 & Grease an 8X8 baking dish
2. With an electric mixer (or hand held) cream together the butter and sugar for a few minutes.
3. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until mixed
4. Lower the speed and mix in flour, baking soda & salt. Mix on low speed until all the ingredients are combined.
5. Spead the cookie batter int he baking dish evenly.
6. Pit, peal and chop the peaches into about 1/4 inch chunks. In a mixing bowl carefully mix peaches, flour and sugar until peaches are JUST coated. (We don't want to mash here!)
7. Spread the peaches over the cookie base evenly.
8. In a mixing bowl combine flour, cinnamon, brown and white sugar until evenly incoporated. Then add melted butter and mix it with a fork to form crumbles.
9. Sprinkle crumb mixture over peaches evenly.
10. Bake around 40 minutes.
11. Enjoy it's fresh yumminess!
You know its good when husband keeps going back for more!
On a more serious note. I got news last Tuesday that my Edmonton colleague/friend who had been battling with cancer had passed away. Last year we got together and ran the Run for the Cure to support her. Lisa and her husband and 4 year old daughter joined us on that crisp sunny day in October. This year we were planning on pimping out her wheel chair, as she was not able to walk it. Often people (including myself) aren't as scared by Breast Cancer because it is often cured. Lisa's life is just an example of why it is such an important cause to support. I will miss very much her smile, her gentle nature and her positive attitude. Anyone could learn from her!

Until next time,
