Peach Pie

My neighbor gave me a dozen fresh peaches picked right off the tree. Oh, are they good eating. I took some of them and made them a fresh peach pie. My husband doesn't like peach pie made from fresh peaches. He likes the ones I make from canned peaches. I surprised the neighbors and they were very happy to get a warm homemade peach pie. It is fun to surprise people and make them happy.

Bacon and Eggs

We had breakfast for supper tonight. I made a huge pan of crisp bacon and eggs over easy for supper tonight. Hot toast buttered with raspberry jam and cold milk tasted very good for a change. I fresh fried some potatoes to go along with the bacon and eggs and put on a dish of cold sliced peaches for dessert. It was an easy supper but tasty and fast. I had been working on the computer and it was getting too close to suppertime. Last night we went out to the Pizza Ranch and had a great buffet.

Hot Supper Tonight

I made a crockpot roast tonight in my new crockpot and it is so tender. I like to use onion salt and garlic salt in the water. I also brown the roast first, salting it with both salts on all sides and browning on all sides. Then into the crockpot and later add carrots, onions and potatoes. Yum Yum. It makes the best gravy and last time I saved enough for hot beef sandwiches. May do that again or just eat the leftover slices on buns. It is soooo good. Serve peaches for dessert and cold milk and you are all set for a delicious meal.

Crockpot Roast Supper

I don't think there can be anything much better or better than a good quality roast cooked all day in a crockpot with whole onions, potatoes and carrots. Of course you add the vegetables later in the day. But I usually brown my roast with garlic salt and onion salt and some greek seasoning. I like to put 2 cups of hot water in the crockpot and turn it on high while I brown the roast on every side, ends too. I also like to put some garlic salt and onion salt in the water to taste first. Add the roast about 9:00 a.m. on low. About 2:00 p.m. add 2-4 medium sized whole onions. I love to eat some onion with my meat, so it is up to you how many you put in. But they really flavor the gravy, Yum! Then add as many cleaned whole carrots as you need for your family and then about 3:30 or 4 add whole peeled potatoes according to the number in your family. I forgot once and left the skins on and it made the gravy taste like the potato skins and we didn't like it. Put some frozen rolls in the oven about 10 minutes before you are ready to eat and serve along with butter and jam. Then get out the vegetables and put them on a separate plate or low bowl. Slice the roast thin against the grain and serve it up with fruit for dessert. At our house, sliced peaches in heavy syrup have always been a big favorite and that is what my husband had growing up. And sometimes we have strawberries and shortcake. The leftover roast (if there is any) makes wonderful sandwiches the next day for lunch. And don't forget the ice cold milk.
