AKA, "ginormous muffin with streusel topping."
So last week we took the brood on a little field trip to a local orchard and set em to work in the fields.
And I did a lil pickin myself
So we went home with an assload of peaches and blueberries.
What the hell is a girl supposed to do with an assload of peaches and blueberries?!
Well, there's homemade granola with the berries, and sweet tea with the peaches. . .hmmm. . .on to Facebook and Foodgawker!
The Big Munky's wonderfully good-natured and humorous cousin (whom I share my name with, which makes her doubly awesome) gave a recipe for peach cobbler. I've never actually seen cobbler up close, and was initially pretty against cooked fruit, but I thought what the hell. But, since I can't follow any directions (I'm a rebel, yo) I did some other crap to it that I can't really remember--and it still turned out pretty damn good. Good enough that all 3 of the kids and Big Munky ate it, and that it didn't last a day.
Sweet.
Then I found a recipe for Blueberry Buckle. I'd never heard of it, so it registered as "weird as hell," and I was, of course, intrigued.
Again, Angified the snot out of the thing, but kept notes as I did so. It was awesome, too, and tasted just like a blueberry muffin.
And, again, it didn't last a day.
