peach oatmeal crisp


i don't know what possessed me to turn my oven on in this heat but i did. i bake this peach oatmeal crisp and cornbread. the peach oatmeal crisp is nice to have around because all i crave is fruit in the summer. but damn it's hotter in this house now with the oven on. sonofabitch. well if u like peaches, oats, cobbler and have air conditioning instead of this god awful swamp cooler i have, i suggest u try to bake this. it's a really simple recipe.

peach oatmeal crisp
3 lbs. peach slices, thawed if frozen (i used two 29oz cans which equal almost 4 lbs but also more peaches mmm)
2 Tbs. lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine peaches, lemon juice, sugar, nutmeg, and half the cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. Combine oats, remaining cinnamon, flour and sugar in another bowl. Mix thoroughly in a bowl or food processor. Add butter and cut in until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle over peach mixture. Bake 40 minutes until top is lightly browned. Serve with vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream.

chocolate cream pie


since it is hot as hell i wanted to make a no bake dessert. i found this easy chocolate cream pie recipe. it taste da bomb. i chose not to use cool whip and opted on fresh whipped cream via heavy cream, a lil sugar and a blender. i also used raw milk in this recipe. mmmm fresh cow juice. this dessert is perfect for a hot ass summer day.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups cold milk
2 packages (4-serving size each) Chocolate or Chocolate Fudge Instant Pudding
1 container (8 oz.) Whipped Topping, thawed
1 prepared chocolate cookie crumb crust or graham cracker crust, 9-inch
Preparation:

Pour cold milk into large mixing bowl. Add pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk until well mixed. (Mixture will be thick.) Gently stir in whipped topping. Spoon into crust.
Refrigerate the pie for 4 hours or until set. Garnish with additional whipped topping and grated chocolate, if desired. Store leftover pie in refrigerator.
