Today, I had an idea of dinner, and definitely took advantage of the free time I had today to do them. First of all, I made a pie, using the peaches from the peach tree in my own backyard!
Here are the ingredients to get the party started:
Filling:
10 ripe but firm peaches
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon or pinch ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg
Step one: Use a store bought pie crust, because making your own is hard work. I just used a regular one, that we had to roll out, so it almost was like homemade. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Then, peel and cut the peaches (Use about 9 or 10) into 1/4-inch thick slices (you should have about 7 cups) and toss with the lemon juice and almond extract in a large bowl. Whisk the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in another bowl, making sure there are no lumps. Stir the flour mixture into the peaches and mix well.
Ahhh…looks good. And then,
Pop in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, and then lower the heat to 350 degrees and bake until the crust gets brown, about 50 minutes more. Then, let cool, which will take the better part of a year, since mine was still warm, eating it at 8:00, after having taken it out at like, 4:00.
Ta-daaa!
And then, for the actual dinner, I made some balsamic steak rolls, ended up looking like this:
And they were AWESOME. At the risk of being lazy, I’m going to link you to the blog where I got it from, because this post is long enough already, and this would make it super super long.

Find them there, and they were SUPER delicious, if not a little time consuming. But otherwise, I had a pretty good Sunday, food-wise! Hope you did as well!
