This week I've been baking up a storm. First I made the cutest mini peach pies. I found a recipe on Pinterest that was perfect! I was shopping at my local Salvation Army store and spotted the cutest little tart or quiche pans. I'm really not sure what they are, but knew they would make cute little fruit pies. I cheated and used store bought crust. I know, I was feeling lazy. I made some with the latice and some with a heart placed in the center.
I was so glad to find peaches on sale at my local Price Rite grocery store. They were .99 cents a pound. I just got an advertisement for another local grocer who has them for .69 cent a pound. I think I'll go get some more. I love peaches this time of year! Maybe I can find another good recipe on Pinterest for a peach dessert.

- Fit the dough circle into the ramekin and gently push down to fit the size.

I made a peach smoothie in my new Hamilton Beach milk shake maker.
I bought this beauty at a yard sale for $2.00.
