Ingredients You Need to Make Peach Crisp:
You’ll need: Oats*, Brown Sugar*, Peaches, Butter or Margarine*, Flour*, and Cinnamon.
*Oats – Quick or old fashioned, whatever you have.
*Brown Sugar – dark or light, whichever you prefer
*Butter or Margarine – Whichever you have on hand and/or can afford. Ignore anyone who judges or complains, if they have free time for that then they have time to cook for themselves.

Helpful Kitchen Tools
Drain your peaches (or use fresh, sliced, peeled ones!) and pour them into the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish, or a pie plate. Whatever you grab out of the cabinet first.
Place all of your other peach crisp ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Mix ’em up really well with a long tined fork or pastry blender if you’re fancy.
(It’s just as okay to be fancy as it is to be plain)
Sprinkle that over the top of your peaches.
Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Serve peach crisp warm, with ice cream if you like. Enjoy!

Don’t they know who they are talking to? You are the daughter of a King!
My Dad and Mom worked in the cotton mills in Gastonia, NC and we lived on what was called ‘the mill hill’. Small houses built when the mill was built to allow families to live close to work. All of us were poor but well fed and very happy! My behavior was influenced by this atmosphere! All of the kids were in and out of each others houses and ate where we found dinner on the table!!! If I misbehaved bad enough at Mr and Mrs Taylor’s house or any others, they would immediately call me down and, if bad enough, swat my behind!! Then when I got home.. and if they called Mama.. I had another scolding and usually a SWAT!! I am 67 and have had so many people tell me that I was ‘raised right’..I thank God every day for my upbringing and the lessons on how to treat people!!!
I am a very good listener. I learned that from my Mom but after listening I know when to speak up. I learned that from my Mom to. Of course now that I am 70 I can say I’ve had a lot of practice.

Timely post! God certainly guides you in your posts and stories! We do need to stand up for ourselves, sometimes loudly, sometimes softly. If we don’t respect ourselves, how can we expect anyone else to respect us? It is hard to correct another adult when they disrespect us – I know I am always so shocked when someone is rude and hurtful, that I’m shocked to silence (surprised?? me too!). I need to learn to say, softly, that they really didn’t need to say _____. Amazing how long those stinging words stay with you. That’s when grace has to come in to play! Thank you for another great story and recipe!!!
Fortunately, I’ve never had a problem standing up for myself. However, I’ve brought unnecessary stress & misery by standing up ALL OF THE TIME. In my “later” years and especially when dealing with my daughter, I’ve learned to “pick my battles”. Life is much more pleasurable now. I didn’t realize until later that by speaking up ALL the time, for myself and others, I made myself a lightening rod and actually diluted my inputs. Since I was the one to speak up always, people were ignoring me half of the time (blah, blah, blah). When I speak up now, I almost always am paid attention and my input is measured and appreciated. So yes, speak up, but pick your battles. Allow room for others to speak up too.
Patty, I totally agree! There is a fine line between standing up for yourself and being a rude bully. As in all things, moderation seems best! Susan said something about grace coming into play and that is SO true! I’m afraid I would not appreciate being talked to like that by the little girl, so I would have responded to her with a bit of authority…”Yes, I know very well who I’m speaking to, and you should be mindful of who YOU are speaking to”! I know that is not a popular response these days, but sometimes it is necessary.
As a mother, grandmother, and former teacher, I have 60 plus years of experience in dealing with others. Most of the time, a spoonful of sugar DOES go a long way! My dear Dad always said, “You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar”! I know there are those who do not respond to kindness, and I have come to accept the fact that I cannot “reach” all people. Everyone has their own “issues” and we cannot possibly know the inner turmoil someone may be going through and why they act as they do.
I probably do not always stand up for myself as I should, but I always weigh the cost of saying something. Plus, it depends on the people involved and the situation, as well as the setting. Perhaps it all boils down to self-esteem and confidence and some of us do not have that in abundance! I’m still working on it at 64 yrs of age! Sorry I have gone on and on here! In closing, I love Christy’s stories – reminds me of some of my own – and I love her recipes! I have her first cookbook and love it! I need to get the second one, but was sidetracked with cancer and major surgery. Now I’m ready to cook and eat again! Blessings to all of you!!
Christy, A lady has to EXPECT to be RESPECTED.
Once, a supervisor was talking extremely crudely during coffee break…WAY crude..i ignored him..but, he persisted..all full of IT.
After 3 times of “sharing”..I turned to him and smiled, saying:
“Don’t I look like a Lady”.”.I am a Lady.”..
And took my cup of coffee..turned my back on him..left him standing there..
and went to my table.
In stores..if treated less than one would expect…I smile..and say, [sincerely]..”Are you having a bad day?” I hope it gets better…
A Smile goes a long way..It is CONTAGIOUS..So, is a frown.
In working with kids..I came across a few like your little girl…
I always said, while gently nodding my head [affirmative]…”You are so pretty.
…And, Pretty girls don’t act [or talk] that way.”
AND..as my precious Mama always said :”That’s my story…and I’m sticking to it”..LOL..
Love your blogs Christy.
I also use this for any fruit .Its easy and quick and delicious.
