So summer is coming to an end round these parts.  The past few days in Colorado have been beautiful.  Like spend all day outside beautiful.  Crisp clean country air.  Ahhh.  I love it.  The only problem is there are a lot of mosquitoes in our area which inhibits us from enjoying the outdoors without totally drowning ourselves in deet.  YUCK.

The kids and I have to run with arms whirling around our bodies just to load up in the van to go to school in the morning and same with coming home.  It has got to be a sight for seeing.  I’m sure anyone driving by would chuckle in agreement because they do the same thing or start driving faster because they don’t want to be followed by a van full of loons.

Peach Upside Down Cake

So onto dessert.  This peach upside down cake is delightful.  A perfect way to use those peaches that need ate pronto.  They were on sale last week so I thought I would pick some up for eating and I thought about this cake.  The caramelized peaches pair perfectly with the moist lightly cinnomony (is that a word??  it is now 🙂 ) cake.  So don’t throw away those ripe peaches and make this cake instead.
