Peach Pie

Just made this little gem: Sour Cream Peach Pecan Pie

Yeah... that is their (Taste of Home) photo, but it looks pretty much like that. Except the crust.. i am pants at crust.

I mean..come on.. beautiful! and the smell.. MMM... i wish there was computer smell-o-vision.. because it smells positively divine!

anyway.. i havent tasted it yet, but if it tastes even half as good as our house smells... i think we are in for a treat! ;)

Anyway.. tomorrow morning we are going to look at a house! It would make us first time home buyers if we buy it.. so no pressure there!
It is stunning inside, and while a tad over what we were hoping to pay, i REALLY, truly, hope it is as lovely as the photos and we get it.
I feel like God is working here, and that He knows whats best. But it really feels like He is making this happen, like dropping the price so much and it comes with all the appliances... it just sounds too good to be true! So either way, God's up to something!!
On that, i will keep you posted ;) we are trying to not get too excited about it, since a LOT of things could go wrong.. but its so pretty!

Anyway.. i realize i have said anyway three times now. and for that i do apologize. but like any of these goofy and nearly pointless blog posts.. i am not rereading or proofreading this crap. because that takes the fun out of rambling. so goodnight all :) until next time.. T



update: The pie was good, BUT needed more peach flavor. possibly because my peaches weren't quite ripe enough?
also, if you are worried about buying a whole jar of peach preserves for a little bit in a pie. Buy a tub of vanilla yogurt with it. then you can mix a bit into the yogurt for snack time ;)

monday

sorry this post will be short
i am in a really rather foul mood
i need to be sleeping but even the sleeping pills are refusing to work
sleep hates me, i think it thinks we broke up. but i really quite like it. quite in the american way, not the brit way meaning not at all. i like it a great deal. maybe to the point of love. and thats saying something.
now. nothing cool to report or post.
so how about this photo of stuffed shells. because seriously, they are some tasty stuff, yo!

i love how you can make real, yummy stuffed shells. or be lazy and just shove meatballs in them then dump cheese and sauce on top. good stuff!

5-13-14 - crockpot meal

So this week, i made my first crockpot meal in about three years! I got the recipe from pinterest (of course). The meal is called slow cooker taco chicken bowls and is from budget bytes. (can be found here!)
Anyway.. it was AMAZING. it was so easy and tasty! it also made so very much!
i used a reynolds crock pot bag so there was almost no clean up, which i LOVE.
We used basmatti rice, and added sour cream
i also didnt have frozen corn, so i just tossed in a whole can of canned corn. also, we didnt have quite enough chili powder so i just tossed in a bit of red pepper flakes. We used a mix of Aldi and Giant Eagle brand medium salsa (i am convinced they are made by the same people, they are IDENTICAL).

the chicken was positively falling apart it was so tender and yummy! We tried it plan, with nachos, and with fritos chips. It was amazing all three ways. i think it would be really great inside a burrito too, but didnt try that one.

i can not say enough good things about this meal and am now hooked on crock pots and cant wait to try something else!

Thats all for tonight, it was a busy day so this is just a quickie blog. Any way, until tomorrow, -t :)
