9. EASY PEACH CRISP: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange 4 cups of sliced fresh (or canned/no juice) peaches in the bottom of an 8×8 buttered baking dish. Add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/8 cup sugar in a mixing bowl and combine with a pastry cutter or two knives. Add 1 cup of rolled oats (not instant) and mix in. Sprinkle the crisp mixture over the peaches and pat it down evenly. Bake for 30 minutes until bubbly. Serve with vanilla ice cream. Scrumptious!

Answer to #7: July’s birthstone is a ruby and flower, a larkspur or delphinium. July’s full moon is on July 21. It is called the Buck moon because deer antlers start to grow.
