That sounds delicious....

Hoping some of you might have suggestions for what to serve with it...

I'm so tired of potatoes three ways...baked, mashed or fried.

Patti, because this has a sour cream sauce, I'd serve it with rice or fettucini noodles, and some crusty bread.

Neil and I made a peach run today. It's the last of the peaches, they'll be gone by wednesday. We bought 6 boxes, i've eaten 3 peaches already, they melt in your mouth. Neil has promised some peach ice cream tomorrow, can't wait. On the way home from the peach orchard we stopped by the apple orchard and got some fried apple pies and fritters. Really good stuff. I stopped and picked up today's paper and sat out on the porch to read it, fell asleep and took a long nap out there. It was a nice day, ending with our neighbors coming over to sit on the porch and visit for awhile. Exactly what a lazy summer day should be.

Snails! I made these for my boys when they were little all the time. They still ask for them. Slices of very soft white bread, crusts removed Softened cream cheese Sugar-Cinnamon mixture Melted butter Spread cream cheese on bread slices. Roll them up jelly roll fashion. Slice them into 4 or 5 pieces. Dip the pieces in melted butter, then into the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, until crispy. Let them cool slightly before eating. There are no exact measurements on this, as I just make them. If I need more of something, I just add it. And I usually make a lot of them. LOL I have added mini chocolate chips on top of the cream cheese also.
