Peaches – Long Distance Baking

I warned you, didn’t I? Summer = all peach everything around here. But summer also means hurricane season and this one is already a doozy. Living in Louisiana we were lucky to be far enough north hurricanes weren’t really a concern, but you have never truly seen a storm until you have seen a storm in the South. The sky opens up and a torrential downpour can last for days at a time. Your windshield wipers are on high and it’s still not enough to see clearly. I had my “emergency flooding route” … [Read more…]

By now everyone knows I obsessively love peaches. Between the peach cobblers, peach muffins, peach jam…I could honestly eat all peach everything and never get tired of it. So when we stopped at an adorable farmer’s market in Tuscaloosa  and they had fresh peaches (and again last weekend at one in Little Rock…seriously, farmers markets are my fav), you know I just had to buy some. By now everyone also knows my other half hates peaches. So while I could easily make a full peach dessert … [Read more…]

I realize it’s October and anyone who knows me knows I’m all fall everything over here, but I also live in the South. Where it’s still 90 degrees. And we still have fresh peaches all over the place. So technically, this recipe is still in season. I absolutely love peaches. Peach cobbler, peach muffins, peach smoothies, eating them fresh…I’ll take them any way I can get them! But I’ve never made peach jam. Strawberry freezer jam is my go to, but when my dad suggested peach I just knew I … [Read more…]

Are you ready for more peaches? You better be! Did you know August is National Peach Month? I totes did, and that’s why I went all peach-crazy this week! Jk…I had no idea. Play along with me and pretend we both knew? The real reason I can’t stop won’t stop with the peaches is because the BF is out of town and he hates peaches. Not just a “Ehh…peaches aren’t my favorite…” it’s a full blown hatred. I know, I know…I don’t get it either! Since he’s not here I’m hoarding all the peach treats … [Read more…]

I. Love. Peach. Cobbler. It’s the best. As much as I love chocolate, peach cobbler may just be my favorite dessert! Maybe it’s because I only get to eat it a few times each year, it seems more special. When most people go camping they roast hot dogs or bbq. When we go camping…we eat things like frittatas, tamale pie, fresh biscuits and peach cobbler. Always peach cobbler. Let’s just say my dad is the dutch oven master! There is nothing better than sitting around the fire eating piping … [Read more…]
