Today was a lovely, low-key day to relax and enjoy some much needed down time with my husband. After a lazy morning we hung up the flag and then went out for bagels and a trip to one of our favorite places - Microcenter (it is the best we have since Colorado doesn't have Fry's...super sad). On the way home we picked up a couple things at the grocery store so I could make peach cobbler with some peaches that were very ripe and needed to get used quickly.
Paula Deen's Peach Cobbler recipe was super easy with minimal ingredients and dishes required. Before cooking I also took the 5 minutes to watch the Food Network video so I would have a good idea of what the steps would be. Here's how easy it was:
|
Melt 1 stick butter in 3 quart pan while oven preheats. |
|
Slice peaches (I used 6). |
|
Add 1 cup sugar |
|
Add 1/2 cup water |
|
Bring peaches to boil & simmer 10 minutes. |
|
Combine 1 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour, 1 1/2 cups milk. |
|
Pour mixture over melted butter (don't mix). |
|
Add peaches to top of pan, bake in 350 oven 30-45 minutes, and voila! |
|
The final product with some old fashioned vanilla ice cream. Yum! |
Happy 4th of July! I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful day and continues to have a great weekend.
