Sweet Tea Peaches

Try these sweet tea peaches for a unique dessert or to " "experience a Southern summer in a jar"! Once peaches are gone, the remaining tea is delicious in craft cocktails!

Tart Cherry Cobbler

This requires a flaky pie dough instead of a drop biscuit style topping. If you want to use a refrigerator pie crust instead of making your own that works just fine and the end result is well worth it!

Peach and Blueberry Feta Salad

This peach and blueberry feta salad is the BEST summer salad ever! Sweet fresh peaches, tart blueberries, and the creamy, savory flavor of the feta will have you coming back for more. The peach and basil vinaigrette dressing is the icing on the top.

Easy Banana Nut Pancakes

These banana walnut pancakes are some of the best I've ever had. They smell wonderful and taste like banana nut bread. When you make these on Sunday mornings, they disappear before you know it.

Lactation Cookies

These lactation cookies are great for breastfeeding mothers. They are moist and super yummy and they help boost and/or maintain milk supply. And yes, husbands can eat them too! I have to hide these from my hubby when I make them. The brewer's yeast, wheat germ, flax seeds, and whole oats are why these cookies help with milk supply for lactating moms. Don't skip those ingredients!
