VBS IS OVER AND HOT DOGS HAVE BEEN SERVED

Good evening! Question!!! Have you ever noticed when you finally get home how fast it gets late? Of course tonight I am so tired -- I need more energy to keep up with my duties!! Tonight we went to VBS's closing ceremony and then served hot dogs from the adorable stand Travis built last year for about two hours. We served almost 300 dogs!!! I think any food that is free will go like hot cakes and these dogs went! It was fun though!! We (Travis and I) love serving our church family and friends!

We are going to partially cook next Wednesday night. Daryl is grilling brisket and chicken and then I am doing the rest. I am doing the most wonderful bean recipe, potato salad, bread and dessert! Should be good!!!

I had so much to say last night and much of it has escaped me -- sometimes that is a good thing!!

I told you the other night that I had broiled our trout, shrimp and veggies and that I would tell you the benefits! Broiling uses a very high constant heat so cooking time is much shorter and you are cooking without grease and any fat or grease cooks out of the meat and drops into the pan filled with a little water. For veggies it gives you a very vivid color and seasoned correctly it is delicious!!


Here is a recipe for Peach Cobbler that would rival the Iron Chef! It is from my Mom and I can speak from experience because she gave us one tonight. I think she does this on purpose because she knows I am dieting!!! There have been many recipes in the paper and magazines but I would put this one up against any of them!!

MOM'S PEACH COBBLER

4 cups fresh peaches, sliced
1 Cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 Pie crusts

Dish with rolled out crust. Bake at 400 until crust is beginning to be crispy. Remove from stove, Peel, core and slice fresh peaches. Add sugar. Place in a saucepan stirring as needed. Once peaches in water come to a boil, add 2 Tablespoons corn starch to about 1/4 cup water and stir. Pour into peaches and stir. Allow to thicken slightly. Pour over baked crust. Top with other crust, dot with butter and cook until bubbly and crust is brown on top.

You know what - I think I am going to sleep so have a blessed evening. Join me again for more recipes, causes and whatever else I think about!
