Peach Cobbler for Two

Because there are just the two of us eating most meals at our house, and because we try to eat healthy most days, I attempt to not keep sweets on hand! But when a celebration comes along, it seems that dessert is a special addition to the meal!

Recently on Father’s Day, I went to Taste of Home’s site to scroll through their recipes created specifically for two. I love that they offer scaled down portions! When I came across a small Peach Cobbler, I knew I had found the sweet treat we would enjoy! This was so easy and had amazing final results!

Happy Summertime!

I absolutely love summer. It contains so many special blessings from our good God!

Celebrations! Last Sunday we had a simple Father’s Day. I fixed a meal of Chicken Piccata, Red skin Potato Salad and green beans for our meal after church. I’ll share the new dessert I made next Monday. It was a mini version of a classic! See the pic below for a sneak preview. I shared last week about my dad, but I am also blessed with a husband who is a loving, godly, and fun father and Pappa!

Hot Pepper Strawberry Freezer Jam & Charcuterie Cups for Easy Entertaining

While we serve at The Wilds this summer and befriend the sponsors who bring their kids to camp, I have the blessing of teaching a ladies’ session each Wednesday afternoon. As a part of our time together, I long to show hospitality and create fellowship among the women. It’s a bit challenging, but I believe if we ask the Lord how we can be hospitable, He will make a way.

As I prayed about how to do that this summer, the Lord brought my Strawberry Freezer Jam from last summer to mind. I made a lot, and it needs to be eaten! I wondered how I could use it, then I thought of Hot Pepper Jelly poured over cream cheese. I knew that would make a great little snack to serve my new friends at camp! Then I set to work to turn my freezer jam into hot pepper jelly! It was an easy task!
