Summer Squash Cobbler

Summer squash made into a delicious cobbler! 

I still had a chunk of squash to use up from my 13.6 pounder that my dad gave me and I wanted to make another dessert...I must say this is delicious!  If you don't have squash or you don't care to use it, you can swap it out for apples or peaches and it would be just as divine.  I love a good crumb topping so I not only put it on the top, but I also put some on the bottom to form a crust.  I love how this turned out and you can't even tell it's squash; my family thought it was peaches.  Some of us had it plain, some added a drizzle of cream on top while others had it in a bowl with milk...anyway you try it, it's scrumptious!

Peach Slab Pie

 

 

I'm always looking for quick and easy recipes.  Our schedules are so busy with the kids and there are times when I don't have the time to prepare an in depth recipe.  The other day we were craving something sweet, but I didn't have a lot of time or really any idea as what to make.  I looked in the cupboard, saw a can of peach pie filling and decided to make this simple and delicious peach slab pie.  It comes together in a matter of minutes and in no time you have dessert!

What's in your lunchbox?

Well it's back to school and that means a lot of lunches that I'll be packing!  My littlest one packs his lunch every day and I'm always looking for healthy new products to try.  His favorite cookies are fig newtons; I know, it's crazy for a seven year old, but he loves them!  Trying to find "healthy" ones is a task so most of the time I make them myself...until now! 

Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake

 

 

I had the pleasure of reading  Gone with a Handsomer Man by Michael Lee West. It is her newest novel and I must say, it is wonderful! The main character is Teeny Templeton who loves to cook. When I saw Teeny's recipe for Vanilla Peach Pecan Coffee Cake I knew I had to try it. I did make some slight changes due to the ingredients I had on hand and I also made a vanilla icing to drizzle on top!
