Today I’m so excited to introduce you to one of my very favorite places to visit, beautyeveryday. A collaboration of three Athens, Georgia based artists, Kristen Bach, Rebecca Wood, and Rinne Allen, beautyeveryday is a kind of online inspiration notebook. The talented trio behind the site work together at R. Wood Studio Ceramics—a pottery that turns out truly stunning hand shaped and painted dinnerware. Kristen, Rebecca, and Rinne post about the little bits of beauty they see everywhere. Each day brings a new vantage point. A photo of purple thistle against a bright blue sky. A look into a wonderful strawbale home. A recipe for strawberry preserves.

I love to visit because it’s a peek into a world so different—and more lovely—than my own. So I asked Kristen at beautyeverday if she would share a little inspiration with us, and she graciously delivered a batch of beautiful photos and her recipe for peach cobbler.

I can hardly wait for our local peaches to ripen. I hope you’ll have fun stopping by beautyeveryday. And enjoy the cobbler. I promise you’ll be back for more of both. ~ Willi

We are so thrilled to be posting today on DigginFood. Good food grows everywhere…  Today’s post is coming from the Southeast where the peaches just started to ripen.  Summer is officially here, the upper 90 degree temps have been hinting that too. I made a quick trip to the country where you can find peach stands by the dozen. I picked up a bucket of peaches that were picked earlier this morning and also walked through Thomas Orchards to see the lovely trees displaying the season’s bounty.

My visit to the orchard inspired me to make a cobbler, the true dessert of the South. You can use whatever fruit is in season and serve it up with some fresh whipped cream or ice cream.  Some make their cobblers with a crumb topping, but I prefer using a sweet biscuit topping. ~ Kristen Bach
