Fall is here.  Really, how? The Weather app tells me it’s going to be in the high 90’s this weekend.  This happens every year: fall comes around and in September/October we get a week or two of killer heat, blazing sun, AC-busting weather.  The only time I appreciated it was when I was living on the East Coast and it had been cold and rainy, when I came back to visit in October and laid by the pool for 5 days straight.  Bottom line is I’m ready for fall ya’ll.  Real true fall weather.  Until then, I’ll leave you with this super easy, and delicious Peach Cobbler that is perfect for a large gathering of friends and family on a hot weekend.

Disclaimer: this isn’t the prettiest cobbler in the world. I’ve made it dozens of times, it’s never “pretty” but it tastes incredible.  I guarantee it will be devoured. img_0592

RECIPE

Recipe Notes:

  • The recipe calls for nectarines, but I almost always use peaches. 5-6 peaches, instead of the 4 nectarines the recipe states.
  • I typically use less buttermilk: 2/3 cup instead of 3/4.
  • Sometimes, if I don’t have raspberries, I’ll use blueberries.  Just as good!

Summertime Strawberries in a Pie

~ agustinaskitchen ~ Leave a comment

To me, summertime means STRAWBERRIES! Among other things, but mostly strawberries.  Their sweet scent, deep pink – red color, abundance at every farmer’s market across the state, and sheer yummy yummy yumminess – who can resist?! Actually, my son for one. He won’t eat them – but that’s something we’re working on.  Hence this Strawberry Lattice Pie:

Yes, those are my wedding and engagement rings. I tend to take them off when dealing with sticky messy dough…

I got the recipe from Joy the Baker – her recipes are genius.  At least, all her recipes I’ve ever made.  Which, doesn’t always happen – I tend to have many kitchen failures.  However, thanks to Joy, this one was a winner! Be sure to place the pie on top of a lined baking sheet (as she states in the recipe) because the juices will spill over, and you wouldn’t want to clean up that oven mess!
