Peach Bread


Peach Bread
I didn't really know what to call this recipe - it sort of reminds me of banana bread but peachy. I've been working on the recipe all morning but I finally have a success! 
Ingredients:
1/2 cup softened butter
1 1/4 cup organic cane sugar
1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used my homemade yogurt so the consistency is thinner than Greek yogurt but probably comparable to regular store yogurt)
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla (almond extract might be interesting if you prefer almond)
2 1/4 cups unbleached all purpose white flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sea salt
2 cups sliced peaches (I used Colorado peaches that I had frozen last summer - thawed)
Topping optional: Mix 2 tsp sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon to sprinkle over the top before baking

Beat butter and sugar until smooth then add yogurt, eggs, and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix until smooth. I drained the peaches to remove most of the juice. I mixed for about 30 seconds so there were still a few small chunks of peaches in the batter. I poured the batter into a greased 9x5 loaf pan. I filled it 3/4 full  and I made 6 muffins with the left over batter. I sprinkled the tops of the muffins and the bread with sugar and cinnamon. I baked the muffins for 28 minutes in a 350F degree oven.
and Bake the bread about 55 minutes (test it with a toothpick when it comes out clean the bread is done. Cool your bread about 5-10 minutes in the pan.Then remove it from the pan and place on a cooling rack. This bread is moist and yummy-licious!
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.

Grilled Orange Roughy

My favorite food choices are often related to family memories, so I wanted to share one of our favorite grilled fish recipes. Our Dad used to take us fishing and we grew up eating the fish we caught ourselves. Then came the time when we had to start buying fish, I searched for types of fish that didn't taste too "fishy". It's hard to accomplish that in the Midwest, we don't always have many choices. We were introduced to orange roughy during a trip to San Diego where my great-uncle treated us to some of the most wonderful seafood we had ever eaten at an establishment called Anthony's. It was the first time we had eaten orange roughy and it was white, flaky and not too fishy tasting. After a few experiments, this is my favorite method to prepare it at home. Serves 4 or 2 with leftovers! Ingredients: 4 orange roughy fillets 1/4 c fresh cilantro, I use a small handful * if you are not a cilantro fan use fresh dill, about 1/4 c chopped 2 tsp garlic powder o...

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...
