details of a domestic goddess

part-time SAHM to four kids: Bear (96), Schmoo (99), Hercules (01), and Princess (02). I wear many hats, including that of the chef, maid, nanny, chauffeur, accountant, triage nurse, laundress, educator, admin assistant, maintenance, gardener, weekend warrior, and just mom too. when i'm not busy momming, i get up at 2am to go to work as an international spy.

peach frozen yogurt. oh. em. gee.

 5 large, ripe peaches, peeled and cut into chunks

1/2 - 3/4 cup sugar (to taste - i found 3/4 cup too sweet)
juice of 1 lemon
2 cups plain whole milk yogurt

"ripe" means when you pick it up, you have no choice but to try to eat it on the spot, it is that much of an instinct.

1. peel and thinly slice peaches.
2. place onto baking sheet on wax paper and freeze solid, about 3 hours.
3. combine sugar (to taste) lemon and a splash of vodka in a blender. (the vodka is to keep the mix from getting icy.) add a few peaches and blend.
4. add frozen peaches to blender 1-2 at a time, blending fully before adding more.
(if you are kate, stop here, scoop out a scant 3/4 cup and set aside.)
5. pour yogurt into the blender and blend until creamy. the whole blending process might take 20 minutes.
6. spoon evenly into serving dishes and refreeze for 45-60 minutes. makes 6-8 approx 2/3 c serving.

our peaches rested in a paper bag and went from hard to perfect in 24 hours. because i can't have dairy, i scooped mine out before i added the yogurt, and let me tell you, it is heaven on a spoon at that step as well. it is glorified frozen babyfood, yes, but.... just go make some. the kids want me to add strawberries next time. yums.
