Peach Cobbler mmmm mmmmm

My bestie and I decided to make peach cobbler yesterday. It would have been way more fun if we were together,since she lives in MS and I live in WV but we used the same recipe and made the peach cobbler's at our home, then we took pictures of how it turned out. It was a silly fun idea for us both to try a new recipe, and neat to see how different each of them turned out even after we used the same recipe.

Here's a picture of my peach cobbler before it went in the oven:




And then here are the pictures fresh out of the oven:





Add a little vanilla ice cream on top and it was THE BEST! I am so happy we tried this recipe!
So to share the yummy goodness with everyone below is the recipe!


Yummy Peach Cobbler


I used 2 small pans for my cobbler but you can use 1 9x13 pan if you prefer.
Spray your pan(s) with pam...
Filling:
Drain 1 can of peaches and do not drain the second can
In a Medium sized bowl add both cans of peaches
Add 1/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. biscuit mix
cinnamon (you choose the amount)
(I used about 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, I also added 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp of allspice for a little extra flavoring but this recipe didnt call for that)
~Mix everything together and add to your pan(s)


Topping:

In a medium sized bowl add:
2 1/4 c. biscuit mix
1 stick of melted butter
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
~Mix everything together (its ok if there are small lumps)
~ With a spoon place dollops of your topping to the top of the peach mixture in your pan.
~Mix a small amount of cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle it evenly over the top of your cobbler.
~ Bake covered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes


And thats its! You now have a yuuuummmy dessert!
If anyone tries out this recipe we would love to see how it turns outs! Feel free to share your thoughts, opinions on the recipe, photos, or any changes you may make. Enjoy!

I wanted to take the time to introduce him and share some of the great pics of him that I have so far! This is a new road on my journey in life.... so you will probably see TONS of pictures of this little man here, along with stories etc. I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present!

Here... again

Its been a long while, and I dont really know what to say... I used to blog here consistantly... I used to make cards, and atc's, tags and scrapbook pages and some how I let all of that go and focused all of my attention on my shop, knitting and crocheting. I havent drawn or painted anything in what seems like years... until a few days ago.

My brother, his fiance and their son are coming up for Thanksgiving! It will be the first time since our move to WV that any of my family has visited, so I am super excited! I havent seen them in a few years too, soo you can imagine! I just know we are going to have fun, just hanging out, enjoying each other's company, taking lots of pictures and sightseeing!

I decided I wanted to go ahead and give them their gifts for Christmas while I had the chance in person, that way I dont really have to worry about shipping and if the items would make it safely and things like that. So I got out all of my drawing supplies and for the first time in months I drew!


My brother loves Tigers, so I drew him a Bengal tiger.... and his fiance loves wrestling and her favorite wrestler is Jeff Hardy, so I drew her a picture of Jeff Hardy.... I like how they turned out, of course photos never do artwork of any kind any justice.... so they look more vibrant in person :) I really hope they love their pictures =]

I rejoined Scrapbooking & Crafting Friends, and I plan on working on some paper arts in the near future... before I really get tired of knitting and crocheting and never want to pick it up again lol. I love doing it, but when you have done it every single day for the 6 or more months... sometimes you just get tired. ya know? Hopefully I will be blogging here more frequently. I am going to update everything today and will be posting my new creations, including knitting and crochet items when they are created. I'm also going to try to put in a little of my everyday life here as well, like I used to.... Im sorry I abandoned my friends like I did... life just got in the way and I miss you guys so very much!

Wishing everyone a very blessed Thanksgiving!
