365 Diner Take Out

July 28th, 2011
Brown Butter Peach Crumble Bars
I am going to talk about desset first today since it was yummy and went according to plan! Bubba, DaGirlz, and I were heading over to have dinner with GG (our Grandma/Great Grandma) at her retirement community. How Sweet It Is featured a peach based recipe earlier this week, and as soon as I read through it I knew it would be our dessert. It fit many of the requirements for the night: not too much sugar, and would travel well. In addition to that, GG loves peaches!
These bars are like peach cobbler in a bar form. I couldn't find local peaches (yet) so I had to use peaches from the store. It was so delicious, I can't imagine how much better it will be with local peaches! To give you an idea, it was good enough, and smelled yummy enough that even DaGirlz ate it, and they don't like peaches!
The recipe does feature browned butter - DON'T be put off by that. Browned butter is just butter you cook until it starts to brown! Nothing fancy or hard.
You should definitely try these!
For today's actual dinner, I was planning a special cookout at my Grandma's retirement community. They have some nice grills set up in the main courtyard for people to use. Hot Dogs and Burgers sounded great to her, since they eat "Sunday Dinner" all week.
And then it rained. All day. At times torrentially.
Hot Dogs and Burgers inside just would not be the same (and her kitchen is the size of a postage stamp!), so we changed plans and took pizza over with us. A quick call to Jet's Pizza and we had a regular pizza buffet: veggie with hand tossed crust, cheese with pan crust, cheesey breadsticks, and Grandma's favorite a thin crust chicken parmesan pizza.
Not a super healthy dinner in terms of nutrition, but it did a lot to feed our souls! <3
Enjoy!
