Things that I love — baking, eating, shopping and shopping, not necessarily in that order! Happy Friday, you guys! I'm excited to share with you this peach & blueberry crumble that only takes minutes to put together and my recent shopping experience at Marshalls. They sent me a gift card to go shopping and I had a blast!
First, is the mise in place. I get all of my ingredients out and start working. I had frozen my super ripe Harry & David Oregold peaches that I received a couple of weeks ago. If you're using frozen peaches, run the baggie under cold water so you can break them apart.
At the last minute, I decided to add lemon juice and zest…to give it a little different zing in case it's overly sweet too.
Mix everything up and throw it into your baker and…
add granola. I used Cascadian Farm Berry Cobbler Granola cereal. They offered to send me some a few weeks back and I didn't think anything of it. Don't tell them, I wasn't too sure we would like it when the box arrived. But I love to eat it with milk for breakfast and Curtis loves to put it on top of his ice cream and when I hatched up a plan to make this recipe, I wanted to make it super easy peasy to I used the granola cereal. Stick it in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes and wait…
I have to tell you the story of these shoes. Most people who know me, I'm a t-shirt and jeans girl, no make-up, super laid back about fashion, sometimes I blow dry my hair, most of the time not. But last year, I decided I wanted to start wearing make-up and I actually enjoy wearing it…not putting it on and figuring out what the heck I'm doing but I enjoy it when it's all done.
I signed up for stitch fix and I have been trying my hand I getting a little more dressed up lately. A couple of months ago, I was at Marshalls and these shoes stopped me dead in my tracks. I have a pair of red shoes (they are flats btw) but I have never owned a pair of pink/coral shoes…these are SO NOT ME. But they are me, I fell in love and had to have them!
The box with my size had two left shoes in it, I asked an employee to help me and he was able to find the matching pairs and I went home with my purchase. Knowing full well, I needed to find clothes that go well with these super fun shoes!
I told you earlier, that Marshalls sent me a gift card, they had no idea of my obsession with their store nor my pink shoe purchase haha!
Aren't these butter dishes cute?
I love glass jar mugs…you know this right? I want all of these…
So this is what I came home with! Jar glass mugs that have a chalkboard finish on them so you can write names or whatever you want on them, fun glasses that were only $1.99 and tons of Le Creuset items that I will use over and over again.

And then this dresss, when I saw it on the rack, I knew I had to have it! It's a Calvin Klein Jeans dress, the material is very light and is supposed to look like jean material. I added a glittery skinny belt I bought on super clearance last year, to give it a little shape.
My number one criteria for a dress is I must feel comfortable. I literally own 5 dresses that I never wear because every time I put them on, I want to tug or pull or hide in a trench coat. I'm starting to get into dresses more…because I'm starting to finally find ones that are comfortable and I feel comfortable in! …and do you see my fave shoes again?
The dress, the kitchen gear — all $100! It might have been $103 but still, a steal! Thanks to Marshalls for feeding my kitchen goodie/prop obsession and now my new pink shoe obsession. PS and by the way, I'm fumbling my way through fashion so forgive the super awkward arm on waist pose. I have NOOOO clue what to do with my hands in pictures.
Sorry for the slight diversion to shoes and a dress…that I'm in love with. Back to this crumble. Make it okay? And enjoy the weekend!!
What are you doing this weekend? And while you're at it, I would love to hear the best steal you have gotten at Marshalls…spill it!

Julie,
Love the shoes!! You remind me of my “yellow purse” story. I’m not usually into bold colors for shoes or accesories because I play it safe, try to stick to neutrals so they go with everything. Then this past May a bright yellow purse keep calling my name at Marshalls!! Funny story….I literally stood in the handbag section for 30 minutes consulting a color wheel on my iphone to figure out what colors would go with a bright yellow purse. LOL…..TRUE STORY!!!
Well…I bought the purse! And guess what….it goes with almost all of my outfits….blue, purple, and of course all the neutral shades. 😉
Julianne @ Beyond Frosting says

Liz @ The Lemon Bowl says
Omg I made blueberry crisp with granola a couple weeks ago at a friends house!! She didn’t have any oats (or brown sugar for that matter) and it worked out perfectly. I have to try this again with the peaches we picked – great reminder!!
