peaches aplenty

While I was cupcaking away for fourth festivities, I was sad not to see more family, but I was happy, happy, happy to have a box of Carroll Farm peaches delivered--there are none better!

So what to do....

1. soft, fuzzy and fresh--eat one right away! Bryan and I devoured one while waiting on the train to go to the Braves game on the fourth with the fam:)

2. cut up two peaches--pour on granola and milk--instant breakfast goodness

3. peach bread--with three delicious peaches

4. i believe a cobbler and pie (by Bryan's pleading) are in order, but I may be freezing them first (lucky for us they're so sweet they don't need any syrup!)

 

can you believe we hadn't yet purchased baking supplies until this moment provided itself?

 

to the recipe i found here, there were, of course, a few slight modifications...one being that i thought cinnamon needed to be added (I'm sure my mom would agree)

i think the final product turned out pretty...and pretty delicious.

bryan agrees.

but there was just something missing...

 

Since I added the cinnamon, I was craving to put some tartinade de cannelle (cinnamon spread) on a warm slice: a canadian treat we got hooked on thanks to kyle and ness. 

problem: no cinna-licous spread left in the tub:(

solution: see if i can make some

half a cup of butter, one cup of brown sugar and two (rounded) teaspoons later...we're happy campers:)

i found varying recipes for this spread online, and if i have to try them all to find the best one, i accept the mission. we had a rule in the chupp house i'm happy to carry over...always add more cinnamon than the recipe calls for.
