Take a piece of peach pie. Please.
I’ve been raging in the kitchen this summer. With the garden producing, I’ve vowed to cook healthy and eat healthy.
Peaches are good for you, right?

My friend’s family farm was bursting with an early variety of peaches. I had a passel of kids last Friday so what better outing?
It was truly wonderful.
We picked blueberries and came home with baskets of peaches.
What to you do with baskets of peaches that all get ripe at same time?
Cook a cobbler, of course.
Except none of my crew likes peach cobbler.
I love peach cobbler.
Putting on my thinking cap, I came up with a solution and I figured it out quick.
Make a peach pie.
They’d have to love peach pie. Who wouldn’t?
My family.
So, since Sunday — I have made my way through a peach pie. A ninth of it remains tonight on the kitchen counter. Where it has sat as I have picked away at it like a buzzard lured to a armadillo squished out on 441.
No.
It’s amazing. Not like some retched, rotting varmint flesh.
Why wouldn’t anyone want a piece of peach pie?
I would take peaches in any kind of pie, cake or cobbler!
My son had his first slice of rhubarb pie (ever) today and I’m so glad he loved it. I have to admit it was store-bought, at an awesome little bakery here in town that knows how to bake German rye bread…
Anyway – I promised him we would bake my grandmas’s rhubarb cake this weekend, which is topped with a hazelnut meringue. Mmmmhhh.
But peaches – yummy!
I just thought of another peachy memory (sorry for commenting twice, I’m not some crazy stalker, promise).
When I lived in Colorado I took a road trip with a friend, who was visiting from Germany. We drove through a bunch of National Parks in Utah and in Canyonlands National Park there was a peach tree orchard. It was eat all you want/can, free for all.
One of my fondest memories from one of my best road trips ever.
Peaches. That is all 😉
I love peach cobber, Jamie. And I’m sure I would love peach pie.
My new kiddos are so very picky. We’re hoping to expand their palates far beyond what they’re used to.
Good luck on that 1/9th!
Oh, and next time you know what to make when you don’t feel like sharing! 🙂
Hugs,
Daphne
(Yes, I’m up quite early.)
My mouth is watering! We love peaches in this family! I too would eat the remains of the pie, like a buzzard…never any reason to let pie go to waste! Thank you for making me wish I had cobbler or pie!
Stopping by via Mama Kats writing workshop, nice to meet you!
Amazing! Wish I could join you for a piece of the peach pie — sounds delicious! But I know how this goes; I’ve baked things that just aren’t what my kids prefer… eventually, right?
Well peach pie is pretty much peach cobbler but I still couldn’t imagine they would refuse.
What is wrong with your family? I would love anything peach, especially made with fresh peaches. I totally agree, I need to start cooking healthier for my family too!
I’m into smoothies right now… how about a peach smoothie?
Since my hubs and I are peach farmers (really, all kinds of fruit), I would absolutely love your peach pie. We live in “”peach country” and peach cobbler is our claim to fame. The kids come over quite often and we “dutch oven” peach cobbler. Now you got my mouth watering! Our early varieties will be ready in about 6 weeks. Can’t wait!
Carol. My children love peaches but not cooked? I’ll trying one day they’ll have to agree with the rest of us.
