Peach and Thyme Cobbler and enjoying best summer in years...

Hello there, hope you all are enjoying Summer 2013, I know I am. This has got to be the best summer I have had in years. So much planned and happening I could just bust! Last week I went to my first Red Rocks show and had a blast, Boo and I have been working at his place painting and getting ready for his housewarming party that is in a few weeks, Liam and I have been spending many hours at the pool and getting ready for his first sleep over. Its a jam packed summer and I feel like its all going too quickly. We have a fun filled week of party after party and cannot wait to cook and bake and have fun with the people I love! What are your Fourth of July plans?

We have been getting some amazing peaches here in Colorado; they are some of the best in the country, comparable to Georgia peaches. Last week I stocked up on a bunch and new I had some baking in order. I thought I wanted to make a pie, but opted for a cobbler instead and not just any cobbler, Peach Thyme Cobbler. You heard me right "Thyme" as in the herb. Its one of those combinations that speak volumes and I used some of the thyme that I planted in my little patio container garden.

Whole Wheat Donuts and what my child will do for a donut...

So today is National Donut Day, obviously a day that we celebrate in this house. Liam and I both have a love for anything sweet and Liam especially has a thing for donuts. This kid will do anything for a donut, its usually what I use as bribery for good behavior or helping me out. I kid you not, this boy has sit through numerous dentist visits and hair appointments that last upwards to two hours all for a donut! I'm always surprised with how well behaved he will be for a single donut, I should buy him a dozen.

My love for donuts started early as well, I remember my grandma "mommo" making this little donuts that she called mousy's, essentially fried dough that was in the shape of a mouse. My sister and I still reminisce about those. We would stay at her house on the weekends, go to church on Saturday afternoon, come home have dinner, watch the Golden Girls, and Mommo would make some mousy's. Memories I will never forget!
