I’ve been hanging out with my sisters Nikki and Laura and our families these past couple weeks. Here’s some stuff that went down:
We went to the Jelly Belly Factory. At the end of the tour they give you a sample, so of course there is a trail of Jelly Bellys that kids have dropped at the exit of the tour. Truman picks one up and eats it. My brother-in-law Adam says, “Truman, don’t eat Jelly Bellys off the floor.” So Truman takes it out of his mouth and puts it back where he found it.
Laura’s daughter screaming at her, “I’m never going to be your daughter again!!!” I made pancakes for everyone one morning. Nikki told me about how when she announces pancakes for dinner to her 5 children, they warily ask, “Pancakes with or without plates, Mom?” Without plates means a quick smear of peanut butter and head out the door. When they actually get to use plates and syrup, they cheer.
My parents have a peach tree in the backyard and there are literally hundreds of peaches ripe, like yesterday. So we are eating a lot of peaches right now, which I have NO complaints about. (We already made this famous Peach Custard Pie and demolished it in a day.) Tonight we made peach ice cream that was insanely good.
Last night though, we busted out the Nutella. I added 4 peach halves to my bowl and an embarrassing amount of Nutella on top. Halfway through I showed it to my sister Laura and said, how do I blog-ify this. So she came up with the idea of putting it on puff pastry. Genius! The only way to make peaches + Nutella better is to add a buttery crust, amiright?
6 of us demolished this is one sitting. After it was gone we had leftover peaches and Nutella, and I was helping myself, getting it all over my face in the process. Later I was washing up, and asked my mom if I still had Nutella around my mouth. “I do? Where?” And she just motioned her hand all over her face. “Right around here.”
I love this recipe because the peaches really get to shine. I love peach cobbler as much as the next girl, but there is something incomparable about a fresh peach. But then you add Nutella…boom.
