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.
*Flour – All Purpose or Self Rising, either one will work just fine for our purposes here.
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!

Loved that story Christy…..but what did you say to the little girl when she said that to you ? Did you notify her parents ? Did you send her to the principal’s office? You probably couldn’t send her, she would have run out the door…..but I would have called the principal and had him/her come to your room take her to his/her office and deal with it…..
When she said you don’t know who you are talking to !!!! maybe it was the principal’s daughter……and she thought no one could touch her…..I want to know more about this story 🙂 very interesting…….can you fill us in more ?
A great and easy recipe today and I love Peach anything…..for sure I will be making this one…..
Fellow Kentuckian, that was a cry for help from a child who had experienced nothing good in her life. Punishment is never the answer, unless she is a danger to herself or to others. Kindness will win the battle and the war time and again.
Interesting questions, Kentucky Lady. Time to answer them might take us away from the point of the example, but it does seem that the girl had a bad case of what today is being called “entitlement.” Someone seems to have led this girl to believe she is entitled to anything she wants. A sad way to go through life.
I believe I’ll make this delicious peach crisp and think about it. I know that my family thinks it is entitled to something delicious regularly. =-)
Wow you hit home today! I worked at a school many years as an aide and it was a poor district, we had many students that couldn’t wait to get to school and come up to you for a hug then made sure they got as many hugs as they could throughout the day then made sure they got one on their way out to last them through the night. Also many of these students knew their last meal until the next morning was their lunch and they licked their plate clean. We always tried to keep a few packages of crackers in our pocket to slip them on their way out. So Christy you are so right we never know what is happening at home. I love how you make all of us that read your blog think about ways to be a better person. i loved the recipe too.
I think I taught that girl when she reached high school. Ha!
Looks quick and easy. Can’t wait to make it. Thank you Christy.
Thank you Christy for the good story. I taught school for forty-two years and am thankful to say that I never had a child talk to me like that. I detest that kind of behavior. It all goes back to the home. Parents must teach their children to respect adults and each other. I am very worried about children of today. I pray young parents will wake up and start teaching respect at home. But what frightens me is that a lot of young parents do not respect older adults. I started seeing this before I retired almost four years ago. It is going to be one of the downfalls of our society.
I love your peach crisp and make it a lot. It is an easy, quick and delicious dessert. Thank you for sharing your good recipes and words of wisdom.
Vicky, thank you for your forty two years of teaching. I volunteer two days a week in my grandsons first grade class. It is an eye opener to see just how much true dedication goes into teaching. A good teacher is like a calling to the ministry! Thanks again!
Enjoyed your story and the peach crisp recipe!
Thank you, Christy, for both the recipe and the story. After you set up the story as an illustration in getting people to “sparkle,” I read the recipe instructions incorrectly – substituting “sparkle” for “sprinkle.” Or maybe that is the right way… it is how my son has been referring to adding extra shredded cheese on anything (Mom, did you sparkle it with cheese?)!
Often when I recall a particularly troubling time in my life, I realize that I started to get better when I started to stand up for myself. Right now, I am standing up for myself in a friendship and am hopeful that the friendship will remain while leaving behind some hurtful behavior. We’ll see if “sparkling” succeeds! Probably best to balance my sparkle & sass with a good dose of respect for this friend, though!
