Summer Catch-Up

Peach Cobbler

Three months! Where did they go? Y'all, it's been crazy around here. In three months we've been sick, traveled to Scotland, been sick again, had grandchildren here several times, held the 10th Mimi Camp, hosted 36 family members at the lake on July 4th, tried to keep up with friends here, and the list goes on. 

And for reasons I don't understand this blog platform is getting harder to use. Maybe it's because blogs are considered old-fashioned now. But I'm not ready to move to a newer platform. I am not an influencer or a content creator (although that is what I'm doing) so I'll stick with this old blogspot until it ages out. My grandmother blog has been around nearly 15 years now. My life is very different than when I started. 

Here is a jumble of photos from the last few months in no particular order. And at the end I'll share the peach cobbler recipe since fresh peaches are still available. The recipe has been here before but it's worth sharing again.

Baby Girl made so many potholders during Mimi Camp.

A special friend came to camp one day to teach us a new recipe.

A variation on a favorite summer pasta recipe. I'll share this later.

Daddy-O made peach cobbler for us one afternoon. 

This recipe is an old favorite. If you haven't made it yet, try it while peaches are still available. Here where we live, we can find them at roadside stands, farmers markets and in local grocery stores. 

PEACH COBBLER

3-4 cups sliced fresh peaches ( Daddy-O used 6 peaches to get 4 cups)

1-1/2 cups sugar, divided

3/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

pinch of salt

3/4 cup milk

1 stick butter

Put 1 cup sugar on the sliced peaches and set aside.

Melt butter and pour into a 2-quart baking dish.

In a medium bowl, mix remaining sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and milk.

Pour batter into melted butter. DO NOT STIR.

Spoon peaches over top of batter. DO NOT STIR.

Bake at 350º for 1 hour.

We love this served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
