Looking for something to do with those left over peaches? Here's a great way to make a quick dessert. Chop up the peaches and toss with a few mini-marshmallows and a few chocolate chips. Roll out a pre-made pie crust and cut into quarters. Spoon on a little of the peach mixture onto each pie quarter then fold it over and seal with a fork. Prick a couple times to let steam vent and sprinkle each piece with cinnamon sugar. Cook the dessert at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes (until edges begin to brown). These are fast, easy and delicious. I just love finding good recipes in my monthly mags.
As a side note here, I'd use a cookie sheet with sides and line it with greased foil (or use a stone) because these do make a little bit of a mess when cooking.

A Fair Day
Since Daddy was gone last weekend, golfing with his college buddies, we went down to the street fair in the desert. We rode down there with Nana, Briguy and their service dog. Great-grandma & Great-grandpa Tanyon joined us when we got there. 
We spent about 2 hours walking from booth to booth looking at all of the neat things that people had for sale. We didn't buy much (it was more of a sightseeing tour) but my little princess did get a pink sparkly visor to shade her eyes. That's one of the nice things about being 3, you can wear pretty much anything that suits your fancy and everyone will still tell you how adorable you look. 
My little guy was entranced by a little piece of fur attached to a automated ball, thus looking like some kind of rodent that was "playing" with the ball. I just couldn't bring myself to buy what appeared to be a rat pelt with google-eyes glued to it - creepy.
We timed the visit just right because it was just beginning to get hot when we were done. We gave hugs and said goodbye to GGma/GGpa and headed home. On the way we stopped off at the park that is at a park and had lunch and let the kids run off any excess energy. Both kids did a great job of behaving themselves and we got some time spent out in the beautiful sunshine. All in all, a nice, relaxing way to spend our Saturday morning.

What to Make
Since it's summer I thought this might be of interest to you outdoor chefs. There are two meats that I've made on our grill recently that I really liked. First, it is SO SUPER SIMPLE to make delicious salmon on the grill. First, brush some oil on the filet then sprinkle on salt & pepper. Make a rub of 4pt brown sugar to 1 pt orange zest/rind. Put the salmon on greased foil on the grill then pat on the rub. Let it grill for about 15 minutes or so depending on the heat of your grill (until the fish is done and the brown sugar is all bubbly). That's it. Serve with vegis and it's a gourmet meal in no time flat.
The other good dinner I made was rib eye roast. I know, it always tastes better at the restaurant, but this one really was the best I've had. The kicker here is you need a rotisserie for your barbecue. What you need to do is make a marinade of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, marjoram & Montreal steak seasoning. Let the meat get happy in the marinade for at least 4 hours. Put that bad boy on the rotisserie over the grill and in about half an hour it will have self-basted and be amazing.
