Blogidays December 7 - cream cheese filled peaches

Hello everyone,  I had no idea so many of you would ask for the “recipe” for the peaches I mentioned.

I first made them when I was in high school for a supper when my grandmother and her friend Aunt Susan arrived at our home for a visit.  I think the recipe was from a Betty Crocker set of recipes cards that my mom got my subscription every month.  

Anyway,  there’s not much of a recipe that I go by anymore.  You can use however many peach halves and how much cream cheese you need for who you’re serving. 

I used softened cream cheese mixed with finely diced pecans, a little vanilla and a little powdered sugar to taste.  Then put a rounded tablespoon of cream cheese each peach half.  Then chill them until it’s time to serve them.  

I did find this YouTube video where she makes them and it’s pretty much how I do except I think she uses a pastry bag to pipe the cream cheese into the peach halves.  

Heidi, this YouTuber, uses 2 large can of peaches (28 ounce or so), 8 ounces of cream cheese and 1/4 c powdered sugar.  

About 1/3 cup finely diced pecans is what I would use for this amount.  

Canned Peach halves are kind of hard to find nowadays.  They were so popular when I was growing up.  I always liked when the school cafeteria had peach halves.  

Do any of y’all remember eating them?  

Anyway,  this is an easy dessert or salad that  can be made ahead and most everyone will like it.  

Granddaughter Elizabeth especially likes it 🥰

Blogidays December 6- very quiet Sunday

Good evening everyone 

We’ve had a very quiet Sunday.

I did an early morning Walmart pickup 

I got the biggest pack of toilet paper I’ve ever seen 

Milk, eggs, produce - my good substitute was I ordered a 5 pound bag of carrots and they substituted 3 2 pound bags of organic carrots 

Sometimes I make a dessert peach halves filled with sweetened cream cheese and chopped pecans.  My granddaughter asked me to make it soon so I ordered canned peaches and she will be happy 

Apparently I wasn’t keeping track when I selected bread.  3 loaves went straight to the freezer.  

A few non edibles including some bananas that won’t be eaten for awhile.  

I’m usually very happy with my pickup produce but bananas, you just never know.  

The Jergens Wetskin lotion really helps my dry skin in the winter.  You put it on after you shower but before you dry off.  It really sinks in fast and be use you don’t rinse it off, it doesn’t leave the shower floor slippery like some other shower lotions I’ve tried.  

We had simple meals today too 

Breakfast was hash brown with onions and bell peppers and an egg on top 

 

Supper was another bowl- rice from yesterday, beans and corn, chicken taco meat left from Friday with sautéed onions and poblano peppers and little queso cheese on top.  

Hope you all had a relaxing Sunday

❤️ Rhonda
