Peach Crisp

After a long and stressful week.... Wait! it's only Thursday! This calls for a good dessert. And this one is my all time favorite! Something about putting some vanilla ice cream on top and letting it melt and ooze over the warm peaches, just makes me happy. I do think I will go and make some right now!

Peach (or apple) Crisp

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup shortening, melted

* Add egg to dry ingredients.
* Stir in shortening with a fork.
* Sprinkle a little cinnamon into the mixture.
* Mixture will be crumby
* Line a 9x13 baking dish with thinly sliced apples or peaches. (fresh is best, but I often use canned peaches)
* Sprinkle a little sugar and cinnamon on top of peaches.
* Dot with tabs of butter.
* Crumble the crisp mixture over the top of the fruit, making sure it covers the entire pan of fruit.
* Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
* Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
* Serve with vanilla ice cream (warm) or whipped cream (cool)

Super Cheesy Bacon Potatoes

1 lb uncooked bacon
2 potatoes per person you are serving
1 stick butter
1 yellow onion diced
1 lb of cheese (at least)
Lemon Pepper

*You can use a large pot on the stove, or a dutch oven.
*Throw bacon in to pot and cook until bacon is crispy
*While bacon is cooking, wash and cut potatoes into bite size pieces. You can leave the skins on.
*Take bacon out and cook potatoes, butter, and onion in the bacon grease
*If there is not much grease, 1/2 can of sprite will be needed
*Add cheese, crushed bacon, and lemon pepper to taste when potatoes have cooked thoroughly.
