Warning: this post might make you hungry

I've talked a lot lately of my baking adventures, and since many of you have asked for recipes I thought that might be a fun Wednesday pick me up.

Let's start with Amber's recipe for pumpkin chili, and Pam's recipe for chocolate zucchini muffins. (If you think either of those sound gross I am here to tell you you're wrong).

I found this recipe for chocolate chip cookies...

...and this one for sugar cookies.

Mandy was kind enough to share her recipe for peach pie, which has been around so long she can't quite remember where it's from. (Maybe A Taste of Home?)

Peach Pie

Ingredients
Filling:
4 cups unsweetened sliced peaches
1 cup sugar, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

Topping:
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold butter

Directions
Press crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
For filling, place peaches in a large bowl; sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and toss gently to coat. In another small bowl, combine the flour, egg, vanilla, salt, and remaining sugar; fold in sour cream. Stir into peaches.
Pour into crust. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees bake for 20 minutes. Take pie out of oven and increase heat to 450 degrees.
For topping, in a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over top of pie. Bake 15 minutes longer or until topping is browned. Cool on wire rack. Store in refrigerator. (If it makes it that long!)

Still with me?

I got the next two recipes from my mom (not sure where they originated from), but I cleared it with her and she said I could share!

There you have it! What do you think readers? Are you as hungry as  I am now? I realize I've done a lot of baking in the past month and a half - I'm pretty proud of myself! Let me know if you try any of these, and how they turn out! And please share recipes in the comments - I'd love to try something new!
