Peachie Pastry

The question of the day that was worth 5 pounds and a Holiday Dessert…
«What’s that?» I asked a woman delivering sweet treats to Irie Coffee Bean this morning.
«Those are Nutella chocolate chip peanut butter cookies and those are Brown butter pecan tarts.» Jessica, the owner and deliveryperson for Peachie Pastry, said she has been supplying her treats to Irie and a couple other places for just a month. I bought 2 Nutella chocolate chip peanut butter cookies and one large Brown butter pecan tart.
I met my mom and her neighbor for lunch. They both share the same Scorpio date of birth and I wanted to bring dessert. The conversation for the entire meal with my mom and her neighbor was about exercising, eating right, and losing weight in the next year.
I relayed a story I had heard about the power of the mind. Two control groups, one hypnotized to believe broccoli was bad for them actually gained weight after they ate broccoli. One hypnotized to believe that cookies were good for them stayed the same weight after eating cookies.
Mind over matter. I then presented my butter soaked little brown bag of pure goodness. Both rich and delicate, the Brown butter pecan bar is like a perfect pecan pie, but not so tall. Pecan pie is my Virginia mama’s favorite Thanksgiving dessert and I asked her if it would be OK if I ordered a Brown Butter Pecan Tart for the Thanksgiving as she dove into her Tart. She moaned. At a restaurant. In public.
My mom’s neighbor owns several restaurants in town and said the Nutella chocolate chip peanut butter cookies were perfect. Two nutella cookies sandwiching a delicate yet firm peanut butter/​chocolate chip cream. She has been searching for a dessert to offer for sale in her restaurants and would love something as special as this. She also said that both desserts have a purity of ingredients and clarity of flavors that is obvious from the first bite.
Peachie Pastry also makes cupcakes, cheesecakes, and other desserts that can be ordered from their website.
When my mom finished her large bite of the pecan tart, she said, «You know, if she can make a tart, she can make a pie. See if she can make a pecan pie for Thanksgiving…»
One way to take care of yourself is eat dessert made with the best ingredients and love. We have all decided to go on the Peachie Pastry Diet.
