Get Sweet Smart

Peach Pie

My grandma makes the best peach pie. 🍑 She makes the best of a lot of things. She’s 91, still lives independently with my 93-year-old grandpa, and still spends as much time in the kitchen as ever! She just brought one of these pies over last weekend and it was gone before we knew it.

My grandma’s peach pie recipe is different than most others I’ve seen. Hers only has a bottom crust – no lattice on top. Less crust; more filling – exactly the way I like it! Her version also has a gel-like texture and a hint of almond thanks to the almond extract she adds.

Normally I’m not a fan of almond flavoring, but this is one of the few recipes I actually like it in. It blends perfectly with the peaches – and the loads of whipped cream on top. 😊 Pile it on there – that’s the best part!

I’m not going to lie to you: these aren’t the most figure-friendly brownies on the planet.

They also are not baked entirely from scratch.

Or the neatest. Messy fingers are headed your way in 3, 2…

So! Now that I’ve sold you on them for sure (😉), here’s what they DO have to offer you and your taste buds:

Beef Sliders with Jalapeños and Honey Butter

Have I mentioned my obsession with honey butter?

I mean, do I need to? I know few people who can resist the stuff at Texas Roadhouse. It kind of goes without saying.

I have a sweet tooth for sure, but I also like mixing sweet flavors with unexpected ones – salt, for one, but also spice.

Independence Day Recipe Round-Up

Happy Independence Day week to my fellow Americans!

I am a total sucker for holiday-themed food and recipes. The Target dollar aisle and seasonal section often prove to be the death of my budget, because I can’t resist the Candy Cane Oreos, the Reese’s Eggs, or the pink-and-red heart-shaped bunting that makes the perfect Pinteresting backdrop.
