Peach Crisp for the Dormition Fast

We had blessed peaches
from the
Feast of Transfiguration.
A friend had given me a Lenten cookbook
as a wedding gift...
It has this recipe in it:

I love how it mentions peaches for the
Dormition fast!
I added a bit more peaches to this
and thus more of the flour mixture.

5 peaches.

Spices...

It was so good to bake again!

It turned out pretty well!

 

The only thing I would want to change
is that I missed having the oats that I have used
when I make apple crisp...
and perhaps a different margarine...

It is wonderful however to have such wonderful things
to make during the fasts!
And to have some particular to days and seasons.
Such a blessing from God,
to have a home that can practice one's faith in peace.

Curry Vegetable Dish ~ what we enjoyed for July 4th weekend

Mr. Husband and I stayed in town for the 4th and
just enjoyed being home together.
And I was able to make a new dish,
a curry with various vegetables.

Mushrooms, carrots, green pepper.

I used the above recipe with many changes.

One thing I would do differently next time
is not cook the vegetables as long.

I soaked the cauliflower before using it.

I also added some russet potatoes
as I did not have the waxy potatoes mentioned in
the recipe.

The curry spices were added to oil first,
then the potatoes.
I am going to do less baking time for the potatoes
as they were very soft by the end.

But it was still good!
We enjoyed it with some basmati rice. 

Mr. Husband loves raw veggies so we
had some raw cauliflower too.

 

The recipe did not call for salt or pepper,
which we added at the end.
With it,
it was a great meal!

With the mentioned future DV adjustments,
I think this curry can be a meal Mr. Husband and I
can enjoy in future fasts!
