Finished product

Blackberry pie and cinnamon treats

When I was a kid and my mom would make homemade pies she always used the left over dough to make these sweet, simple, little cinnamon treats. They were just rolled up left over dough with butter, cinnamon, and sugar. I think I like these better than the pies most of the time.

I made a blackberry pie from the fresh ones we picked over the weekend and sure enough I had just a tiny bit of dough left over. They are cooking now.

Peaches and Blackberries

We took a trip to a "pick your own" farm today called Thierbach Orchards & Berry Farm, http://www.thierbachorchards.com/ . In season right now are their peaches and blackberries. We got a little bit of a late start so the blackberries were a little tough to find, but we picked enough to make a pie. (if there's any left after we munch on them!) After we were done with the blackberries we headed to the peach orchards for some fresh picked peaches. Jack loved finding all the peaches on the ground and throwing them. And he also made freinds with the farm dogs we seemed to love anyone who pet on them!

I got my Martha Stewart on when we got home and I made homemade peach cobbler with the peaches we picked. I can't wait for dessert tonight!
