Stolen: Organic Peach Pie

Pre-Oven...I sprinkled brown sugar before adding the top crust!

Got this recipe from the lovely Jenni at Story of My Life.  I made it to celebrate Ben coming home after 5 days away. Yes, this might sound a liiiitle over dramatic since we spent 10 months apart (Sept.11-June12), but whatever. Judge away! Absence makes the heart grow fonder. (and the house grow cleaner)

Organic Peach Pie
*organic peaches are not necessary, but they are the one fruit I almost exclusively buy in organic due to the high pesticide content.

Pillsbury package of 2 crusts
4-6 cups sliced peaches - about 6-8 medium ones (no need to peel them)
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp lemon or lime juice
1 TBS butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 425. Place bottom pastry crust in pan. Mix flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir in peaches and lemon or lime juice. Turn into pie crust, and dot with butter. Cover with top pastry. Seal, flute, and cut a couple slits in the center. Cover edges with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown, and fruit mixture is starting to bubble. Cool on wire rack. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and enjoy!

If only I looked this way...

New running shoes are the best! Seriously- every time I lace up a new pair, I want to instantly burst outside and run forever looking like someone from the cover of runner's world. Well, lucky for this FG her FB knows how much a new pair of shoes makes me happy. So for Easter this year, he treated me to my first pair of Newton Running shoes. YAY! Since running in these, my stride completely changed and I've been able to get my time per mile below 10 minutes more than once. Several times. For real! (No, I don't count my bad I don't feel like working out today but I will anyway days).

WOOHOO! Plus they look SUPER cute [and tiny] next to boyfriend's giant New Balance  shoes. I highly recommend these amazing kicks because they're super light weight and I haven't even thought about shin splints since I put away my Asics.  Seriously. Love love love these shoes!!!!

Tiny FG, tiny shoes :)

With any workout, stretching is important!

Really focus on your weight training...

Stretch some more!

Know that your workout was good,

...and then have a nap.

zen fire zee missiles!!! :)  Or mom snuggles.

Newton may not have liked cats. Nor do my little angels have anything to do with running or this post.  Except that when I come back from a run they look at me like I'm insane. Sweating, hydrating, and stretching- I guess they just don't see stretching as a strenuous activity.
 I miss them and looking at their pictures while Grandmeow (aka: My Mother) holds them 'hostage' makes me feel better. So you will look too. Look.......seriously. look how cute they are!

Cuteness

Even more cuteness.

...You're welcome!
