tasty tuesday ~ colorado peach cobbler

Summer is one of my favorite seasons...for food and food alone! I am not a fan of hot humid weather at all. I am however a fan of berries and nectarines and peaches! I heart peaches most of all!

This recipe was a little different than the one I usually use. It called for a cup of sugar both in the topping AND in the filling. I  knew that the sugar would be too much so I cut the amount in half and am so glad I did. It was just the right balance of sweet and crunch. I had also never used an egg for the topping. It was some sorta good! Next time I might add some chopped almonds for added weight.

As much as I love peaches, the topping is always what makes the recipe for me.

The recipe also says that the ice cream is optional. HA! Not in my house!

So bake up a little summer...

Celebrate the Feast!
