individual peach crisp

I have never been one to shy away from dessert. I have the need for a little something sweet numerous times throughout every day. Sometimes that sweet craving can be satisified by an apple or a mini twix nabbed from one of the many work candy bowls. other times i need an entire dessert just for myself, without any sharing. *when you have a two-and-a-half year-old who has a championed sense of smell (especially when it comes to sugar) and a husband who constantly proclaims he "doesn't like sweets" and then silently devours an entire box of lemon frostie cookies in one evening, you may have to plan for solo dessert time.* or you could just hide in your bathroom with your dessert. hey, i've stuck my whole head in the fridge and devoured peanut butter cups and told my child (wirh my mouth full i might add) that there is no chocolate. so no judgement from me.
