Peachy Day

Today we went to an orchard. We picked up 1/2 a peck of peaches for us and 1/2 a peck of peaches for my grandma. After we got our delicious smelling fruit the kids played at the orchard's playground before we headed back home.

Oh, I'm dreaming of fresh peach cobbler once these babies ripen up!!!

For supper tonight we had one of my favorite recipes:

Greek Baked Macaroni with Beef & Cheese

 Ingredients
7 oz uncooked ziti or elbow macaroni (about 2 cups)
1 ½ cups grated Kasseri, Parmesan, or Romano cheese (6 oz.)
¾ lb. ground beef 
1 small onion, chopped
1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce 
1 tsp salt
⅛ tsp ground cinnamon 
1 ¼ cup milk
3 Tbsp butter 
2 beaten eggs
⅛ tsp ground nutmeg

Directions
Cook macaroni as directed on package; drain. Cook and stir beef and onion in 10-inch skillet until beef is light brown, drain. Stir in tomato sauce and salt. Spread half the macaroni in greased square baking dish, 8x8x2”; cover with beef mixture. Mix ½ cup of the cheese and the cinnamon; sprinkle over beef mixture. Cover with remaining macaroni. Cook and stir milk and butter in 2-quart saucepan until butter is melted. Remove from heat. Stir at least half the milk mixture gradually into beaten eggs. Blend into milk mixture in saucepan; pour over macaroni. Sprinkle with remaining 1-cup cheese. Cook uncovered in 325 degree oven until brown and center is set, about 50 minutes. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Garnish with parsley if desired.
