Pie Recipe Fun






Hello , Hope yall are doing well.

Hope your Fourth of July was Full of Fun and Food!

 I did quite a bit of baking or the 4th!

Mainly Pies. 

One Pie was half Blueberry and half strawberries!
It was really good and not hard at all to make.

I sliced up the strawberries and stirred in some sugar to taste as well as some
corn starch and lemon peel.

The Blueberries I mixed with corn starch , sugar and lemon peel as well.

I put a piece of foil in between both fruits and took it out before I added stars and stripes
of pre-made pie dough.

This is how mine came out...




Since I had extra pie dough I decided to make
mini peach pies which were super easy and a big hit with my Family.

I sliced up a big juicy peach added some sugar
then added a bit of egg wash to the edges and but the them together

and into to the oven the went for under 20 mins...




Did yall do any cooking or Baking this past weekend?
Hope yall are having a fun Summer!

Til Later Everyone,

Eva

Grilling Addiction


Recently I have had the BIGGEST Grilling obsession !!!!

I just want to Grill everything !!
And apparently you can!

 I grilled some romaine Lettuce...


 Grilled tons of Peppers and Onions
and Shrimp!

 

Grilled Salmon is the Best!!

Made that with some Thyme & Cherry Tomatoes from my Garden.

With a little salt & pepper...delish!






Made a ton of Burgers with lots of Melted cheese and we could not get enuff!!

Just add any type of toppings and your set!

Plain s&p on the burgers.
Flipped both sides on the grill top then onto the foil to finish cooking.
Plus it holds the cheese and juices on you burger.





If I grill I have to make hotdogs for my kido!!




What is your favorite thing to grill!?

I think I want to grill some fruit next...

we shall see...lol

Sandwich Love

Hi Again,

Lately I have really had an addiction to Sandwiches.

I have honestly always had a Love for Sandwiches.

What is your Favorite Sandwich?

I don't think I could really pick a favorite..

but if I had too....

I would pick a plain white bread with plenty of mayo and lots of Fresh Tomatoes with Salt & Pepper!

I know, nothing fancy about it!
But ever since I read about it on Harriet the Spy when I was a kid...  

I know, books really do effect my life!

Anyways.....

I always enjoy a freshly made Egg Salad - especially of the eggs come from my chickens!

Makes the salad taste 100 times better!

Lately I have been making a lot of Egg Salad and Tuna Salad.






I guess I wanted to make something then the usual  Ham & Turkey.

This time around , I also made some Fresh Honey Wheat Bread that did not need any kneading...







which the whole the family loved. I do not have a Recipe or it this time because this was a package mix.

It came out really Good and with the Egg Salad even better.

What kind of Bread do yall eat at home more?

Wheat or White?


Here are a few Sandwich ideas and Recipes I have found recently.

One was Crispy Chicken w/ Avocado and Mozzarella with a yummy Lemon Mayo.




Here is the Link to the Recipe:






Another Yummy Sammy I want to try is from an old Martha Living Magazine ,
I found it the other day.

It is a Grilled Ham with Broccoli Rabe and Fontina Cheese and Fig Jam / Dijon Mustard.




Well that is it for now...until later!

Happy Thursday!
