Dad's Homemade Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler fresh from the oven!
One of our favorite desserts is Dad's peach cobbler. This is a recipe that I use when I need a quick dessert. I always have the ingredients and it only takes a few minutes to mix it up. I modified it for gluten-free by making a change to the flour type, just in case you're looking for gluten-free. You can use fresh or frozen peaches, or even canned peaches work. I usually freeze enough Colorado peaches to take me through the seasons so I use those. This recipe makes about 6 servings.
Ingredients:
1/3 c butter, melted
1-2 cups peaches, peeled and sliced
1 c sugar (white or organic cane)
1 c all-purpose flour (or white rice flour for gluten-free)
1 tsp cinnamon (this is optional, my family loves cinnamon!)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 c milk (I use organic 2%)
Directions:
  • Melt butter and pour it into a baking pan, a 9x9 square glass pan works great. 
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt (and cinnamon if using it). 
  • Add milk and stir with a fork or spatula.
  • Pour this batter mixture over the melted butter. 
  • If you're using frozen peaches, thaw them first and add some of the juice with them. Using a large spoon, place the peaches over the batter. 
  •  Bake 400F for 30-35 minutes. I usually test mine by sticking a toothpick in the middle of the cobbler and pulling it out. If it comes out clean, your cobbler is ready!
I let mine cool on a cooling rack. You can turn your pieces over and serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream over the top. Dad's favorite was to pour a little half-n-half or cream over the cobbler. 

It's the best...really!!

Love and peace,

Grandma's Bread Pudding and Caramel Sauce

I was trying to think of something for dessert last night and homemade bread pudding was my choice. Our Dad was not a dessert lover but bread pudding was one of his favorites. Our grandma made the best bread pudding, hope you like it! Ingredients : 5 cups slightly dried out bread, any kind. I used Italian bread.  1/4 cup raisins (optional) 2 cups milk 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 T vanilla 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon Caramel Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tsp vanilla Directions : Cut the bread in cubes. I cut some of the crust off (on about half of the bread). Place bread into a greased casserole dish or an 11x9 inch pan. Add raisins.  Microwave milk and butter about 4 minutes on 60% power or heat in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Slowly add the mixture to the egg and milk and butter

Homemade Goulash

Last weekend I made meals for the freezer. It takes a few hours but this will save you time during the week (in case you have nights like I do when you don't feel like cooking) and your family will love it! I adapted this recipe from Paula Deen (it's called Bobby's Goulash). I used organic ingredients but use the products of your choice. I would have liked to use fresh tomatoes from the garden but my tomatoes weren't quite ready. You can also make it gluten-free by using gluten-free elbow macaroni. It's so tasty - my family loved it! Ingredients : 1 pound ground turkey 1 pound lean ground beef 1 -2 small onions, diced ( I used red onions) 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups water 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 T Italian seasoning 3 bay leaves 3 T soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce 1 T seasoning salt course ground pepper to taste 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked) Putting it together: Brown meat and onions in a lar
