Bagel Pizzas

This weekend, while trying to decide what to fix the boys for dinner, I remembered that I had the ingredients to make pizza. I did not, however, have the time to defrost the dough. But then it dawned on me that I did have bagels in the refrigerator that would make great pizza crusts. I could let the boys help me make their own pizzas. Seth, of course, opted for cheese only, while Luke enjoyed pepperoni. The boys had a great time making their own personal pizzas.

Cook with your kids.

Minnehaha Falls

Today Craig, Carol, and Keely came up for a visit. After lunch of burgers and all the trimmings, we all piled in the Expedition and headed out to Lake Rabun. One of the true treasures of Rabun County is Minnehaha Falls. It is beautiful. Here are a few pictures we took of the kids as they enjoyed the waterfall. After leaving the waterfall, we went to Tallulah Gorge. I did not take any pictures there, as it was raining. But we still all had a nice afternoon enjoying the beauty of God's creation.

Brrr...this water is cold!

Smile everyone!

Until next time,

Go and enjoy the outdoors!

Ode to a Georgia Peach

Summer brings hot weather and hot peach cobbler around the Meadows house. We have been enjoying lots of peach cobbler while the peaches are in season. They are sweet (especially with extra sugar) and juicy. Yummy! Here is the recipe that I have been using this summer. It is easy and most importantly, delicious. Hope you enjoy!

4 cups peaches, peeled and sliced
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick butter
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While oven is preheating, place butter in 8 x 8 pyrex dish and place in oven. Pour lemon juice over sliced peaches. Stir to coat. Pour 1/2 cup sugar over peaches. Stir and place in microwave for 1 minute, just so sugar begins to melt. In a separate bowl, mix flour, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon until blended. Add milk and whisk. Pour batter into dish with melted butter. Do Not Stir. Pour peaches on top of batter. Do Not Stir. Sprinkle a little extra sugar over the top. Bake for 55 minutes. Enjoy with vanilla ice cream.

Until next time,

thank you Lord for Georgia peaches!
