Peaches from the tree! but not all for me!

GUYS

peaches from my tree.
oh me! oh my!
so.so.so delicious.
absolutely, undeniably plump! sweet! itty bitty and cute!

i ate them plain!
i put them in a cobbler!

look and see!a bit of agave nectar on them.


loadin' em up into the new red ramekins connbonnet purchased for my birthday! (the perfect sized plates of glory...)


the dough!
hehe so cute i had to line them up...and take more photos of the froot'n'doh!

some of them had just peaches

and some of them had peaches and strawberries and cherries!

annnnddddd
i also made one with some leftover corn and sweet potatoes!
mmm put some granulated garlic, basil and a pinch of salt!

microwaved the sweet potatoes in a bit of water for about 7 minutes (turn them over at the halfway mark!)and then the others!


mmm
sprinkled some cinnamon and sugar on the top before baking!

i haven't tried the sweet potato and corn one yet, but the fruit ones had a bit too much juice at the bottom!
hmm...


but still so yummy!

I tweaked the recipe a bit from this wonderful blog: Baking Bites!


for the dough--
1 1/2 cups whole wheat baking flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
a pinch of salt
1 1/2 tablespoon agave nectar
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
teaspoon vanilla extract


1. preheat oven: 375 degrees
2. cut peaches into slices and toss with the agave.
3. put in ramekins (or a baking dish, or whatever you want!)

4. large bowl: whisk 1 1/2 tablespoon agave, sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract and egg until smooth
5. sift flour, b powder, b soda and salt into the liquid mixture and
stir to combine!
6. drop and sorta smooth the dough onto the fruit.
7. i sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on top! (1 tablespoon cinnamon + 1 tablespoon sugaah!)

8. bake for 30 minutes!

seriously.let it cool.
i burned myself.
oh, me.

We eat bell peppers when it's a sweltering 99 degrees

Sorry for not getting on this thing for a bit!

Let me start with yesterday's breakfast!
I had my raw almond butter topped with bahnehnehs on sprouted grain toast!
and cheerios! and cherries! and apples! and apple chips! and
almonds and cashews!
grr gotta stop this craziness.

I forgot to take pictures of my meals yesterday!
Sorry. must have been the 99 DEGREES it was.
crazy heat!

For lunch, I had a delicious concoction of buckwheat noodles with kimchi (yes, i love what some may perceive as stinky cabbage. I LAHHVVVVV EEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT!!!) and cucumbers and sesame seeds!
and a cold seaweed soup nomnomnom!


followed that with a heaping plate of peaches, bluebe
rries, cherries and apples.

then went swimming with my lovely roommate!
had to swim circles because there were too many people per lan
e! a lady got really confused and we had to explain to her what was going on!
is this what will happen when we get old?!

at least old people are usually cute.

Then I tried to drive the car without turning on the engine.
no jokes about me being either
a) a woman

b) asian.

dinner was nothing great...
just ate cereal and fruit and bread and crackers and cookies
...i hate when i do this because i end up really full and my
head thinks, "aw, you didn't actually eat a dinner MEAL so you're not full! have 4 more bowls of cereal!"
RAWR!


made my brother a birthday card, succumbed to my weakness and had apple chips and almonds and cashews and 10:30 pm (grr), watched tv, read more of my library books and went to bed!
here's the card!


this morning, woke up at 4 am to see my brother off on his trip!
seriously contemplated eating more apple chips,
slapped myself and tried to go back to bed.

awoke pretty early, as i usually do,

and had

cheerios with almonds, bananas and almond milk

(unfailingly delicious-o!)
blueberries, cherries (pitted!) and apple chips over yogurt!

ah...the tub-o-o's...let me show you what goes on every morning---
repeat
50 times
100 times
A GAJILLION BAJILLION MILLIONONONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOO TIMES!!!!

anyhooooooooooooo

my almendra and cashew stash is getting dangerously low!!
on my grocery list, no worries. don't cry, joyce.


something i'm simultaeously sad and happy about:
my apple chip level.
pretty much demolished a 14 ounce bag in 1 day and a half
so
there's a testament to my eating prowess
...or just my lack of eatroling (eat + control = eatrol! hehe)

then had some apples and peaches and avacado and more banana
and two deliicciouuuuuuuuusssssss

bell peppers!

ahhh
today, the beach!
may make some hummus to take for all to enjoy!
and got a pita bread recipe i want to try!(must save for another day!)

15 ounces of chickpeas
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup greek yogurt
a bit of lemon juice and a bit o' lemon zest
1/2 cup tahini
