I’ve been making this cinnamon peach crisp recipe for years and I made it again last night for dinner {yes dinner!} thanks to all the peaches we have on hand these days.

This recipe is SO GOOD, that I wanted to share the recipe again for all of those who may have missed it the first time.

I hope you love it as much as we do.

Ahhh cinnamon peach crisp. It’s the perfect way to start the day. Fresh fruit, a little dairy {ice cream} and you’ve got yourself a winning combination to tackle the day ahead.

Or you could make it for dessert, that works too.

This recipe for cinnamon peach crisp is so good, you’re going to wish you bought more peaches! Seriously, I made the first one and then quickly made a second to pop in the freezer to enjoy later this winter. So do yourself a favor, plan ahead, save some time and make a double batch. 

This recipe is not only super easy to make, but a true comfort food as well. Cinnamon peach crisp, this recipe is a keeper!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

With a sliver of butter, butter a 9 inch casserole dish and set aside.

In a large bowl, toss the peaches, sugar, tapioca granules, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice until evenly coated.

Pour the peach mixture into the prepared casserole dish and set aside.

For The Crumb Topping

Using your fingers, cut the butter into the other topping ingredients. Pour crumb mix loosely over the peaches.

Bake the cinnamon peach crisp at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 20-30 minutes until the crumb topping is a nice golden brown and the peach juices are bubbly.

If you notice the crust starting to get too dark, cover with foil.

Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream or gobble it up plain.

Remember the arborvitae tree the HH couldn’t plant because there was a bird’s nest in it? 

Well the birds have left the nest and haven’t been back to the tree in a while so yesterday he decided to dig a hole to plant the tree.  And well, now I want to dig up the whole yard and see what’s hiding under the dirt.

This is what he found after digging about a foot down.

Another minute later he came over to show me another jar. This one had a root growing in it {and out!} of it. 

How crazy is that? 

I tried pulling the root out and he told me I’d never get it out. IMPOSSIBLE he said. Can’t be done. It’s stuck in there.

Well, maybe it is for now… But once the wood dries out I bet I’ll be able to shake the {now clipped} root out.

There were more bottles, broken blue glass and a few shards of pottery.

Are there any antique dealers out there? Do you know what company this symbol is from? It looks like a unicorn to me. 

Seriously, all this, from ONE hole! I feel like there is SO MUCH more out there. There’s gotta be. We could be sitting on a gold mine! 

Or at the very least, a coffee can full of someone’s forgotten treasures… Right? 

We do know that before the house had indoor plumbing, there was a two seater off the back of the house {yikes!} so there could be a whole trove of treasures in that spot.

It kind of makes me want to bury a couple of jars out back. I wonder if anyone 50-100 years from now would think an old salsa jar was exciting. Who knows.

Get Back To The Basics + Learning to Unplug

And a woodstove. 

That being said… I stayed unplugged from early Friday morning to just a few minutes ago and it was really, really nice. We watched the bird channel from the kitchen.

I moved an exhausted little birdy that was sitting in our driveway Saturday morning to a safer spot so she could regain her strength. A few hours later she flew away and the next day I found her napping in one of the birdfeeders.

It was the cutest thing ever.

In The Kitchen

More peaches!!

The HH received his third delivery of peaches. This time around they were the Sunland variety. The day after the peaches arrived he received a box of pineapple!!!

Someone is seriously wanting to make sure this guy is getting his vitamin C. If we get any more fruit deliveries, we’ll have to open a smoothie stand!

Kitchen Goals For This Year

• Master the pear frangipane tart from Standard Baking Company. 
• Put my Weck jars to use.
• Use two bins of beans {working on it}

Rug Hooking

Last week I finished my Star Spangled Whale rug {it was huge!} and so I decided to hook something small from my “someday I’ll hook these bin” before I start another big rug. 

Rug Hooking Goals For This Year

• Finish drawing out all my patterns, making kits, dyeing wool by March 31st. 
• Release 10 new rug hooking patterns/kits.  {4 down 6 to go}
• Hook 27 of the patterns from the “someday I’ll hook these” bin. {6 down 21 to go}

Go New Places – See New Things

All travel plans are currently on hold but The HH mentioned possibly going to Montreal in the fall.  It’s within driving distance, so maybe? I don’t know. I think it would be pretty hard to beat Quebec City. 

Travel Goals For This Year

• Travel someplace {internationally} that I’ve never been before.
• Travel somewhere in Maine {overnight} that I haven’t been before.

Places I’ve Been So Far This Year

• Boston {Birthday getaway}
• NYC {Girls getaway}

Walk And Stretch More

I will say that I am a bit relieved that I won’t be hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up again {sleeping on the dirt and not showering for 3 days}.

We went on a few walks and went out for ice cream once. It’s been pretty warm around here the past week or so and we’ve mostly been staying close to home and working on home and garden projects.

Walking/Stretching Goals For This Year

• Get into some sort of stretching routine
• Fast walk a 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon 

Garden

The raised beds are doing great! And so is the lawn. It’s hard to believe it’s only been about 7 weeks since we hydroseeded. 

We’ve got a proper backyard now and we are loving it. It might take me all summer to get the back fence painted {2 coats!} but it will sure look nice when it’s finished.

Garden Goals For This Year

• Rework the driveway and garden areas {DONE!}
• Go crazy and plant a ridiculous amount of flowers {working on it}
• Step out of my comfort zone and plant some flowers I’ve never planted before {DONE!}

Paint

And last but not least, I finally got the wooden beams painted white. We put the room back together and the floors look so much better than before it’s crazy.

We’ll remove the track lighting and put up something else in the fall but for now, we’re done in there. And that feels sooo good.

I hope you have a great Monday, 

~ Mavis

Painting Goals For This Year

• The Van Gogh wall
• The gallery wall down stairs
• The captains wall in the hall
• Trim and walls

What have you been eating lately? Anything good? 

I just realized I haven’t done a food update in over a month. How did that happen? 

I went to upload some photos and noticed I’ve only taken a handful of pictures and all the pictures I did take were of actual meals… Not the pickety bits and glorious amounts of fruit we’ve mostly been feasting on lately. 

Oh well. I guess I’ve had other things on my mind.

One thing we’ve been eating pretty consistently this summer are avocados. And lot’s of them. 

I even added avocados to a bowl of leftover teriyaki chicken and rice.

A seven layer dip seems like a party food, doesn’t it? 

But when you’ve got copious amounts of refried beans in the freezer and all the other ingredients on hand, it suddenly becomes a meal.

Fact: The HH has discovered Tostito’s “Scoops” and loves them. Even I think they’re kind of fun.

Bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado.

Turkey, avocado lettuce, tomato and cheese.

I love avocados, but not enough to buy an avocado chair.  

Mini burgers and Wrap City chips. 

And last but not least, weenies, chips and a simple salad. Is it still called a salad if there’s no lettuce?  One of these days I’m going to make a real meal… Like a lasagna from scratch. Just not anytime soon.  

What have you been eating lately? Are you making elaborate meals or are you on summer mode {quick and easy!}. Curious minds want to know. 

I hope you have a great weekend. 

Peace Out.

Yesterday I was at Lowe’s and I noticed the penny “elimination” sign on the garden center window. 

I read somewhere that there are 114 BILLION pennies in circulation in the US. And yet… Now stores want you to pay with exact change? Is there a penny shortage where you are? This was the first time I had seen any reference to one. 

I knew they had stopped minting new pennies last November, but it’s hard to believe there is actually a shortage of pennies in the United States.

Every one of those need a penny, take a penny trays that I’ve seen still have pennies in them. Do you pay in cash? Do you carry change with you? 

Are you seeing signs asking you to pay with exact change where you are? Curious minds want to know.
