Crazy for Cobbler!

One of my favorite summertime memories is the sweet scent and taste of peach cobbler!  There’s something so refreshing about a peach…and since they’re so plentiful right now there’s no better time to make something tasty with these summer fruits!  When my younger son accompanies me to the market he often likes to rummage through the produce and pick something he’s never tried before…and I rarely ever turn him down!  It’s a great way to have him try new things and most of the time he likes it!  Usually he chooses crazy things that I’ve never even heard of…so you can imagine my surprise when he told me that he had never eaten a peach!  Shocking, right?  But when the boys were little they were rather picky…as many kids are…and peaches just weren’t on our menu!  And though I love them, I rarely make anything with them…but that’s going to change!  Needless to say, we came home from the market with a load of peaches…and spent an evening together creating a favorite of mine…cobbler!  And as the slices were ready to be cooked up in some sugary goodness, I saw him sneak a few bites…thrilled that he enjoyed the unadorned goodness of that fresh peach! (’cause I was pretty certain he’d like what would come out of the oven!)  And when that bubbly pan was ready…I couldn’t wait to plop some ice cream on top and savor a dessert with one of my favorite guys!  Even better was the time spent trying a new recipe and making a mess in the kitchen together…and now there’s one more in the house who’s crazy for cobbler!

peaches…cobbler…fun!

this recipe for Fresh Southern Peach Cobbler is so yummy!  serve warm with a little vanilla ice cream and dish up some ooey gooey peachy perfection!

since it was just the two of us this time…we actually halved the recipe and it was just right!   (i did dot the peaches with a bit of butter before baking…a habit from years of baking apple pies!  and let’s face it, a little extra butter won’t make it taste bad!)  other than that, we followed the directions exactly as they were…

sprinkle on some sugar…

wish you could smell it!

we packed them up on a tray…and out to the patio for a little late-night snack!

a little indulging…a little chatting…mother & son one to one…priceless!

…looks like he liked it! (so did i!)

it’s amazing what a bit of warm cobbler can bring to an evening!  if you like peaches, i hope you try this easy recipe…

and go crazy for cobbler!
