The Best/Easiest Crumble Recipe Ever

I figure this is just in time for our shipment of 3 Springs Fruit Farm peaches….

Note: It pains me to share this. I know it’s silly, but I hold all the recipes my mom uses close to my heart, even the ones she gets from cookbooks. So, easy as this recipe is, I’m sharing an important part of me with you. It makes me uncomfortable, sad, and nostalgic. So pardon any cheesiness (although I am the least cheesy person on earth) and accept this gift I present to you (which is not at all a narcissistic sentiment).

I’m a big advocate of my mom’s cooking. Seriously, my mom is the best cook in the world. She’s better than your mom, hands down. Oh, your mom was taught by her authentic Italian G’ma? Yea, mine’s still better. Oh, your mom was trained by Julia Child? My mom was trained by herself. Oh, your mom is a chef at some super classy restaurant? Whatevs, my mom pwns your mom any day of the week.

Esther Cooks (Kinda): Basil Linguini with Pesto and Chicken

I’ve been swamped. About a week ago I had nothing to do except Green Aisle blog and my own blog. But this past Monday (right after the rapture, mind you), I started a second job at Plenty (sandwich making, Twitter, and Facebook) and picked up a bunch more hours at Green Aisle. I haven’t written here in a while and I haven’t written in my own blog in 9 days (it’s killing me not so slowly). The “Esther Cooks” series has become woefully neglected and my experiments with popsicles are still waiting to be done, despite the gallons of juice in my fridge.

This is literally what my fridge looks like. As opposed to figuratively.

Seriously. I haven’t even had time to go food shopping.

So, I’m going to sit down right now and tell you what I had for dinner the other night that I cooked. And by cooked I mean I just kinda put it all together.

Get this:

Severino Fresh Basil Linguini

Severino Classic Pesto

Chicken Breast, butterflied

I’m almost embarrassed by how easy this was.

Fuzzy picture. Forgive me.

Esther Cooks: Fajitas

I had my first cooking lesson last Monday. I’m a little late, so forgive me.

It was remarkably easy. Probably because my boyfriend wanted me to try something completely foolproof. Luckily, it’s a meal we’ve had many times before and is 100% unsophisticatedly delicious.

I made…

CHICKEN FAJITAS!
