Peach Crisp and Blueberry Desserts mmmmmmmm

by | Aug 31, 2011

Fall isn’t quite in the air here in Middle TN but I know it is for some of you and I know peaches should be ready or almost ready!  I love peaches and I miss the days that I used to can 4 or 5 bushels of them every year!  My kids used to love them and probably still would if I had the time to do all of that again!  Today I have a quick and easy peach crisp to share that will be different than anything you have probably tried but it is a good way to combine the end of summer grilling and peaches!

Tomorrow I will be adding in some cool recipes for this Labor Day weekend so be sure to check back for those as well.
