Easy Stovetop Chicken And Dumplings Recipe
This dish uses a few processed food items (namely, cream of chicken soup and refrigerated biscuit dough), but cooks up in about 30 minutes and makes a delicious meal. I won’t ever pretend it’s health food, but in addition to being cozy and stick-to-your-bones filling, it’s quick, easy, and doesn’t involve a ton of clean-up afterward.

G.H. Bass Footwear for 70% Off
I went to visit my friend Terri this past weekend. She lives near Hagerstown, Maryland, where the state borders of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia come together. While I was there, we ventured out to the Hagerstown Outlets to do some shopping for her son, and afterward decided to wander around see if anything else struck our fancy (and also since we were already out, Terri’s husband was home taking care of the baby, there was a Starbucks… you know how this goes).

I like to toast some Italian-style bread and make sandwiches, but it would be equally good with another starch like noodles or potatoes, or served by itself!

Lattice Top Peach Pie Recipe
My boyfriend, Dave, came home from his parents’ house the other day with a hugebag of peaches. Turns out his parents get fresh Georgia peaches from a truck each summer. We ended up with more peaches than we could possibly eat fresh in a short amount of time, so I made some of them into a peach pie. I’ve made plenty of fruit pies before, but never a peach one… it turned out pretty well!
