Steff is on Faces of Beauty today!
Today is my Papa’s funeral…in case you were wondering where in the world I am and why I haven’t been present in the blogging/social media world lately. And you guys, a life (and a life well lived at that) is something worth celebrating! My Papa left an incredible legacy with our family, and I will always be thankful for the person I am because of the person he was 🙂
And I’m going to celebrate with peach cobbler!
You see, old-fashioned peach cobbler (you know the kind…the one that you don’t use canned peaches and you actually have to peel them and cut them yourself) is one of the great joys in life. You hand-peel the peaches, and are taken aback by the glorious, vibrant color underneath. It’s like a miniature sunset inside each one!
Add a little corn starch for binding…
A little sugar for sweetness…
A little rum for some depth (and for the chef!)
Just mix it all together and bake at 350 for 20 minutes or so. You want to make sure the fruit is soft before you add the biscuit part to it!
In a bowl you’ll want to mix together some flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, melted butter, and milk. Simple ingredients make the best recipes.
Take the dough and break it into smaller pieces and place evenly around the top of the fruit. Slide it back into the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
Serve with vanilla ice cream and a side of time with someone you love. Don’t ever let them get away from you without letting them know that they are loved and bring an incredible amount of joy to your life.
That being said, rather than giving you a recipe, I want you all to know that I love you. I don’t know you, but each on of you has touched my life just by showing up and putting up with my antics and crazy recipes. You are loved 🙂
Baking warms the heart…sending love and positive thoughts your way.
Love you dear.. so sorry about your loss.
Sorry about your loss. I’ll be thinking of you.
I love peach cobblers. This looks absolutely delicious.
I send love right back to you Heather. You make my days brighter just because of your sharing your thoughts and keeping us aware and in tune with life.
Thanks so very much.
Blesses and love are sent your way.

This is my FAVORITE dessert. Ever. My mom has been making it since I was little and I recently learned how she makes it.
Aaaww, Heather…I am so sorry to hear that your Papa passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I also love your wedding series. It’s such a happy time and its so fun to see all the joy surrounding the big day!

Also, that cobbler looks so good! I have a ton of frozen peaches waiting for a grey winter day and this will totally hit the spot when the chill moves indoors! Thanks!
Heather, I am sorry for your loss. The Lord is near!
And….am I the only one who’s DYING for this recipe?
What a great way to celebrate, Miss Heather. You are loved, prayed for, and appreciated.
Looks delicious. Keep a smile on your face today, I’m sure thats how Papa would’ve wanted it.

Yumm! I think this sounds better than apple crisp recipes; I just love peaches
