Fresh Peach Turnovers

Oh man!

These puppies are GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

Luisa challenged me to make a turnover, my choice of flavor. I looked at nutella, blackberry, apple, cherry and mango recipes.

And then I walked through Aldi and could smell the fresh peaches. I had to have them. I had to have them seasoned with nutmeg and enveloped in warm flaky dough.

holy moly

I would make these just to be able to drink the "juice" from cooking the peaches in nutmeg and cinnamon. Mostly the nutmeg. I love that stuff.

I am also a huge fan of using fresh fruit whenever possible. It is so much...well fresher.

I used my handy dandy "empanada maker" to shape the pastries and it worked fabulolusly.

PS: these are 17 year old nephew approved. (not saying much since the kid puts sugar in his grits!)

It's a Peachy Keen No Bake!

On my quest for no bake recipes I came across a microwave peach cobbler. I love peach cobbler, and I hate heating up my house in the summer time, so this recipe seemed like the perfect one to try out!

I found the recipe at.cdkitchen. It only makes one serving so multiple the ingredients by the number of people you want to feed.

Ingredients are simple enough:



Steps:

Coarsely crumble graham crackers into a microwave safe glass dessert cup. I used one of the margarita glasses luisa brought me back from Espana.



Then top with butter, then sliced peaches. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. I mixed them together before sprinkling.

Microwave on high 2-4 minutes and if you're in the mood top with whipped cream or a dainty scoop of vanilla ice cream. I wasn't in the mood. Actually, I was out of whipped cream and the ice cream was freezer burnt. Fun stuff.



The verdict? AMAZING. BEST NO BAKE EVER. Tastes just like the real thing.

Oh, here's a freebie for you:

Have you ever had grilled peaches?

Peel and quarter a peach, stick it on the grill for a few minutes. Remove from grill, plate and sprinkle with brown sugar. MMM!
