Obsessions

Last week when I wrote about my love for the Palm Print I mentioned this dress. I ordered it and it arrived last week and I really love it! The fit is great not too tight or too loose and it is super lightweight too. I am wearing the size 6 that says US size 2-4.

Peach Blueberry Skillet Cobbler

This is quite possibly the perfect Summer Dessert. With peaches and blueberries in the prime of their season now is the time to make this beauty. I keep forgetting I am out of all purpose flour so when I set out to make this I realized I only had whole wheat flour. I was too lazy to drive to the store so I used whole wheat and you know what, it was delicious. Now don't get me wrong I imagine this is even better with regular flour but if you want to be healthy don't be scared of the whole wheat flour it worked just fine. This would be incredible paired with vanilla ice cream. It would make a great dessert for July 4th too. I love how rustic it looks in the skillet but if you don't have a skillet a baking dish will work fine.

Enjoy!

via Endless Summer Cookbook

- 4 ups sliced peaches

- 1 cup blueberries

1.5 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

- 1 cup sugar

- 1/4 cup brown sugar

- 1 cup all purpose flour (I used whole wheat)

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup milk

- 4 tablespoons melted butter

- 1 tablespoon corn starch

- 1/2 boiling water

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Put the peaches and blueberries in a 10 inch cast iron skillet and toss with lemon juice.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of sugar, the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and melted butter and mix until ingredients are blended. Pour the batter evenly over the peaches and blueberries.

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch. Sprinkle the sugar mixture across the batter, then pour the boiling water evenly over the top of the batter. Bake for 55-60 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Scenes From Our Weekend

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Friday the kids and I ran some errands and hit up East Bay Deli for lunch. I love that place. I had to laugh at this picture I snapped of Frances. I tried to steal one of her chips and she was not having it. She takes after her Dad and does not like sharing her food.

That afternoon we picked up some fresh blueberries and made Blueberry Banana Muffins- I found the recipe HERE. Martha never disappoints.

Matt surprised us with a golf cart this week. We had been wanting one forever to cruise our neighborhood and drive to the Yacht Club. Everyone was pretty excited. It is used and she needs a good cleaning but otherwise works great.

We caught a beautiful sunset on our ride.

Saturday Frances and I headed to Loft because they were having a major sale. This weekend everything in the store was 50% off. I have been really impressed with the Loft Summer collection, super cute stuff.

This dress was a winner.

Fun with my little lady, waiting on the boys to get back from fishing.

Wearing

Joie Blouse | Shorts

My necklace is from Waffles and Honey. My friend Karina designed it for me and it has the kids initials on two small charms. I wear it everyday!

Saturday evening we headed to the Bohemian Bull to have an early dinner with friends. That place is so great with kids because they can run around in the back and play all the games out there.

The food was really good too. Matt had the bratwurst and I had a grilled chicken salad.

Frances loved her cheeseburger.

Sunday morning I went on a much needed run. Sterling frequently likes to ride his scooter and come with me. I always enjoy the one on one time with my little man.

After my run we took the family and met up with my blogging friend Carmel. It is always so fun to meet blogging friends in real life. We had so much fun with her and her hubby. Carrnel was just the sweetest- check out her blog if you never have!

Wearing: Loft Dress | Kendra Scott Necklace | Ray-Bans

The Loft dress above is so soft and comfortable. It runs TTS. I am in a small. It would be perfect for 4th of July. Some one on instagram asked if it would work pregnant and it totally would because it has plenty of stretch to it.
