Sour Cream Peach Pecan Pie

This pie is made by putting peaches in a pie dish and covering them with a mixture of sugar, eggs, and sour cream that transforms into a sweet custard when baked. It's topped off with a yummy brown sugar and pecan streusel.

While baking, the custard in my pie started forming a top crust before I could cover it with all of the streusel topping, which is supposed to be a very thick layer. The filling also did not firm up as much as the source's picture shows, but it still cut very well and held it's shape for the most part.

The combination of fresh peaches, sweet custard filling, and pecan streusel made this pie truly amazing! The flavors, as well as the textures, are fantastic. This is one pie that you will definitely want to try before saying goodbye to summer. :)

Pistachio Bites

Pistachios have a nice subtle flavor making them perfect for adding to baked goods. Seeing as how I've been munching on a lot of pistachios lately, I thought this was the perfect time to dig this recipe out of my to-cook pile. 


These two-bites-size cookies are made up of flour, butter, sugar, and pistachios - very, very easy to make. And, they taste great! These cookies have a buttery shortbread-like flavor made even better by the chunks of pistachios. A little extra sweetness is added by dipping them in white chocolate, which I think tastes great combined with the nuts. I never thought something so simple could taste so good! :)
