Peach Cobbler is a special dessert There are many peach cobbler recipes floating about the internet. They often seem to use ingredients like canned peaches, peach pie filling and refrigerator biscuits. I won't say that they are terrible by any means. I've even made them myself when I was in a hurry. But this version of Peach Cobbler is the quintessential summer dessert. Fresh peaches and homemade biscuits I would be the first to admit that this is a bit of a project. Fresh peaches need to ...

Chablis Pear Crisp
Crisps are fall's best! I must say, right here at the start - I like pears better than apples. I'm not really sure why, but raw, or cooked somehow, pears always win. In baking, pears are just sublime, and after trying them in this Chablis Pear Crisp, I think you will agree. Fruit Crisps are the bomb!

Molasses Apple Cobbler
A perfect last minute Thanksgiving Dessert Things are pretty exciting around here right now. We had barely finished our fall cleanup chores, when deer season started. Then we ordered a half of a pastured pig. And a split quarter of an organic grass fed steer. And on the second day of deer season, Larry got a deer. So - we had to buy another freezer, which meant we had to completely reorganize our spare room, which also doubles as a spare bedroom. This is all part of our determination to stop ...

Apple Crisp Bars
There is no big back story here - I love apple crisp, and I wanted to turn it into something a little more portable, like a bar. Apples have done very well around here this year, which has brought the prices way down, and it is really difficult for me to pass up a deal, so we've ended up with quite a supply of all my favorites - Northern Spies, Cortlands, Jonagold, Macintosh and Macouns. Later in the season, some of these varieties get a little softer, and they aren't so great for baking, but ... Read More about Apple Crisp Bars
