Peaches!


The other day, we were given a huge box of fresh California peaches.

As in, a HUGE box!

As in, "cut up and freeze" size box

or

"make jelly" size box

or

"share with your friends" size box

or

"search the internet for new recipes" size box!

We've done a great job eating the peaches and trying new recipes.  So over the next few posts, I'm going to share with you some new peach recipes that we've enjoyed.

The first recipe I made was a peach cobbler.  The cherubs just love peach cobbler!  This recipe is an older Southern Living recipe.  While the cobbler crust is similar to one I have posted earlier, the peach conncoction is what makes this dessert a splurge. 

I'm going to say the fresh peaches are "stewed."  But don't tell people that, because then they conjure up some wierd tasting sensation and think they won't like it!  But truth is, you can make the peach conncoction and serve with a simple sugar cookie, cinnamon and sugar pita chip, over ice cream, on top of pancakes, or by itself for dessert!  Which is exactly what I've done with the Mr. and the two cherubs! 

So!  What am I really trying to say:  when you make the peach stuff, go ahead and double the recipe -- 1/2 for the cobbler and the other 1/2 to keep in the refrig and enjoy!

Fresh Peach Cobbler

1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 TBSP baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
4 cups fresh peaches, cut into slices or diced
1 TBSP lemon juice
1/4-1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Melt the butter in a baking dish, 9X13 size.

In a large sauce pan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, fresh peaches, lemon juice and cinnamon, and place over medium high heat.  Cook until the sugar has dissolved and is a gentle boil, stirring occassionaly so that the sugar doesn't burn.  Remove from the heat.

Combine flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.  Add milk and stir until mixed well.  Pour flour mixture over the melted butter, and do not stir the butter and flour mixture together (it's as if you're "layering" the ingredients).

Gently pour the peach mixture on top of the flour mixture.  Again, do not stir (you should have 3 layers).

Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the cobbler has a golden crust.

Serve warm or room temperature.


Enjoy!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  ...
