I am obsessed with the south. Unfortunately, my southern accent isn’t coming along too great no matter how many times I watch Gone With the Wind. (It should be noted I wrote “Gone with the Wine”.)
I dream of being a southern belle instead of SoCal accordion.
A long time ago someone told me, “You’re a peach!” as a compliment and I thought it was very southern and cute. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can pull that phrase off, but I can pull off a healthy peach crisp so that’s what you’re gonna get…
Peaches are plentiful and delicious right now so buy a few. Eat one. The, make a peach crisp with the other.
Skinny Peach Crisp for One Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 ripe peach
-
1.5 Tb. flour
-
2 Tb. oats
-
1/2 Tb brown sugar
-
dash salt & cinnamon
-
1 Tb. coconut oil (or butter)
Directions: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Slice peach and place in sprayed ramekin.
Mix the rest of the ingredients and place on top of peach slices.
Bake until your kitchen is as hot as the south in July. Oh, that might just be my old oven.
Wait! Top with ice cream. It is the proper thing to do you know. I have a honey vanilla ice cream that’s pretty killa for vanilla.
Enjoy while in a rocking chair on your porch.
Question: Have you actually watched all of Gone with the Wind? I think it’s like 4 hours long or something??
Hi Monica!! Thanks for this awesome recipe, my hubby loved it!!! Gonna try it with apple! We love Gone with the Wind, I even named my first dog Scarlett!!
Yeah! Glad you liked it!
Gone with the Wind was the first movie I ever went to see by myself. Since then I have watched it all the way through many times. Also, I read the book annually.
yum- what a perfect use for delicious summer fruit 🙂
Any kind of baked peach dish rocks for me!
On my recent flight to Dublin I met two lovely ladies from Charleston- I could have listened to them talk all day!
I make my apple crumble this way too! I should give peach a try.
Um I love peaches, “my peach life” duh! I am from Georgia, seen GWTW numerous times, live just a couple of miles from the Margaret Mitchell house and have a strong southern accent. I love reading your blog and day dream about how awesome it would be to grow up and live in California. I have never been there but it is on my to do list. We should totally switch lives for a week!
I made something similar to this the other night but without oats. How did I forget the oats!?
I’ve seen it too many times to count!! I’m from Georgia and we even watched it in Middle school! I’ve also read the book countless times!! It’s my go to book if I have nothing else to read! You should give it a try!!
This looks amazingly easy! I’ve seen Gone With The Wind probably at least 6 times and read the book twice. It was a bit of an obsession when I was 17.
I’m ashamed to admit I haven’t seen Gone With The Wind. . . but that’s probably because when I do I imagine it being some romantic experience with wine and a park or something…
my parents love the movie, so I’ve probably seen it, at least, 10 times. def long, but I love it. and this crisp looks amazingggggg.
Yuuum, I love peach season! Peaches/nectarines are some of the best things about summer.
I actually watched Gone With The Wind on New Years Eve when I was in the 6th grade or something with my cousins…we missed ALL of the festivities and couldn’t wait for the movie to end…for some reason we just couldn’t turn it off though!
Not only have I watched Gone with the wind a million times and read the book…. I named my daughter Scarlet. I fell in love with it in 5th grade. I think it was the dresses.
Sadly and shamefully, I have never seen that movie. And as soon as people know my name, its usually the first question I am asked. I guess I should watch it so I have an idea of why I am always being asked! (I know its the name of the house or land or something).
How funny (or is it!?!?) that Carrots and cake just posted almost the exact same recipe, although hers is for blueberry pie for one!
Never watched Gone With the Wind.
That dessert looks amazing!
Oh, great job on your run yesterday by the way!
Looks super yummy. Peaches are amazing..I have been buying a HUGE box of organic peaches from Costco each week and struggle to get through all of them before they go off…perfect solution to this problem!
This’d looks great!! I have seen Gone With the Wind a couple of times.
LOVE that movie!!!!! <3
And that peach crisp looks AMAZING!
I never saw Gone With the Wind until i went to college in Mississippi. I loved every bit of that movie but who has time to sit down and watch it? My roommate bought a copy of it for me because I tried to take hers when we parted ways. I tend to pull out Gone With the Wind on sick days or on the much needed don’t move rest days!
Here’s a secret… I’m from Charleston, SC and haven’t watched Gone With The Wind. Pretty sure if word got out, I would be tossed out and relocated to the west or even worst… the north (JK).
my 8th grade history teacher made us watch it -_- it was unpleasant. also in a public school in Seattle some parents really prickled at the thought so there were lots of lively discussions on women’s roles, racism, etc.
oh. my… i didn’t even know that i wanted a peace crisp, but you have inspired me. 🙂 i feel a mini bake-a-thon coming on!
i don’t think i’ve ever watched gone with the wind in it’s entirety, but i do remember choosing it for a book report when i was a wee high school freshy because i thought it had such “grown up” content lol.
I SO LOVE “Gone With The Wind” and have watched it numerous times!!!
While I love peaches, I don’t really like them IN anything but I’m going to try this with apples…and maybe blueberries.
Omg this looks killer. I can’t wait to try it and I’ve never seen that movie!!
I have to try this! Carrots & Cake posted a single serving blueberry pie that looks out of this world to. Party for one please!
I’ve never seen Gone With the Wind at all. I dunno if I can sit through a 4 hour movie. Is it really good?
Haha, yes, I watched the whole movie at least a few times…not recently though. I remember when I was a kid, my mom and I would watch it on a rainy day while she did things like sew and craft, and I would play with my barbies. So GWTW brings me happy memories.
And yum, I will have to try making your peach crisp. Love me some peaches. And, ice cream on top is a must!
Yum! I will definitely be making this. I think an even healthier variation would be to top with Greek yogurt… mmm… 🙂
And yes, I have actually watched ALL of Gone With the Wind… in a MOVIE THEATER. So I couldn’t even take BREAKS. I was like, twelve, so it was not as enjoyable for me then as it would be now!
Yum! I wish I had a rocking chair on my porch…Doesnt get much Southern than that! 😉 I bet you could use just about any berry or stone fruit in this and it would be awesome!
This looks great and simple. I am stealing this for dessert on my wife’s birthday okay. You’re a peach…nope I can’t pull it off either.
This looks amazing! I live in Atlanta, and am just now becoming a peach fan. I’m obsessed, so this is perfect. By any chance do you know the calorie or nutrition for this recipe?
I have watched Gone with the Wind like a million times!! Then… my husband gets to listen to me quote lines for like a month! “Great balls of fire. Don’t bother me anymore, and don’t call me sugar.”
This looks amazing! I live in Atlanta, and am just now becoming a peach fan (weird, i know). I’m obsessed, so this is perfect. By any chance do you know the calorie or nutrition for this recipe?
Its about 250 for the whole thing (without the ice cream)
When I was a teenager I didn’t have cable in my bedroom (dating myself I know) but I did have the two cassette set of Gone With the Wind. And I think I watched it about 200 times. I still love it. The books are fun too. There’s a sequel. Anyway, the recipe looks delish! It’s too hot to eat in on my actual southern porch, but I will gladly eat in on my southern couch! Lol 🙂 love your blog
Yum! Peaches have been awesome here in the Midwest this year. Totally making this, but probably multiple ones!
oooh this looks really delicious- and easy! i might need to get some peaches and try it 🙂
yessss!!! We just bought a ton of peaches at the farmers market and I was looking for something to do with them aside from eat the deliciousness by themselves haha this is perfect!!!
