No!!!

Yes, (evil laughter), another Mommy Blog (more evil laughter)!!! Life is a story, mine at the moment just happens to occur mostly at home, which means no sword fights or dragons, but plenty of peril, misadventure, and food. Like all good stories we will skip the boring parts (like laundry). So gird up your loins and let us commence with some real domestic adventures; don't forget your sense of humor.

Dessert for cheaters

Want a delicious (and really easy) dessert that looks like you have been in the kitchen for hours?  Try this peach cobbler recipe that uses canned peaches.

You will need:

1/2 stick melted butter (1/4 cup)

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp baking POWDER
3/4 cup whole milk

1 29 oz can sliced peaches in syrup (heavy syrup is best for flavor, but I have used the light too)

1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1-2 Tbsp citrus fruit juice (1/2 lemon or small orange, lemon juice, grapefruit or orange juice, whatever you have on hand)

Vanilla ice cream (not mandatory but it makes the dessert!)

What to do:

Pour the butter into an 11x7x2 glass baking dish (this is a weird size and the only recipe I have ever seen that asks for this pan size, thankfully I had one inherited from my great grandmother, use whatever you have on hand).  The main trick with this recipe is not to stir between layers, which is weird but it works.  Mix together the dry ingredients (flour through baking powder) and then stir in the milk, mixing well.  Pour the batter into the pan with the butter and DO NOT STIR.  Top the batter with the peaches, juice and all.  Spread them out evenly but don't stir.  Pour the vanilla over the entire pan, sprinkle it with cinnamon, then pour the juice over top of it all.  Bake at 375 until golden brown and bubbly, serve warm with ice cream.  Reheats well in the microwave (one serving at a time).
