Peach Cobbler

A couple weeks ago I had some peaches that were over ripe, and not so good to eat raw. I sliced the peaches, removed the pits, added a touch of sugar and froze them. This evening I was in the mood for some peach cobbler, but I didn't want much of a fuss. I found a great recipe from Betty Crocker using Bisquick, that turned out to be incredibly easy and delicious.

Classic Bisquick Peach Cobbler
Time: 1 hr. and 10 min.
Makes: 6 Servings

 http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/classic-bisquick-peach-cobbler/a2efbfa6-3233-4f7a-bf5b-43ce62bd1055


Ingredients
  • 1 cup Bisquick mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 cup and 3 Tbsp sugar, divided
  • 2 cups frozen peaches, thawed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Combine Bisquick mix, milk, and nutmeg in an ungreased 8x8" baking dish. Stir in butter until combined. 
  3. Combine peaches and 1 cup sugar, spoon over Bisquick mixture.
  4. Combine remaining 3 Tbsp sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle on top of peaches.
  5. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until golden.

I have found that my oven is quite hot, and I regularly have to turn the temperature down so as to not bake the food too quickly. Tonight I found that this recipe was even better at the high temperature because the batter became crispy, which only added to an already delicious cobbler.

Please feel free to attempt, tweak, and enjoy this classic peach cobbler.

Welcome

Welcome to Kage's Kitchen. I'm Kage, and I simply love to cook. It all started almost a year and a half ago when I married my best friend, Thomas. I moved out of my parents house, where I did little in the kitchen, and into a place of my own, that is, with a man to feed. Leading up to the wedding I had heard stories of wives only knowing how to cook one dish, therefore feeding their husbands lemon chicken for their first 3 months together, until he decided he'd make dinner for a change. I surely did not want to do that to my husband, so we probably tried something new about 4-5 times a week for the first month or so. And I have loved being in the kitchen, creating personal masterpieces, ever since. 

There is only one problem. I enjoy being in the kitchen so much, that I want to share every new find, or new idea, with all my friends and family. To do so I have often shared some of my left-over lunches with my co-workers, who then invite themselves over for dinner. I have also entertained friends and family in order to share some of my delicious finds, which usually results in little, if any, left-overs for lunches the following day. After I discovered how much I truly enjoy cooking, my husband suggested I start a blog. Now here I am. 

As my first recipe, a personal favourite, Brownie Surprise. 


            I found this on pintrest, and simply made them according to the picture.

Ingredients:
  • 1 package of chocolate chip cookie mix (a package of the break-apart cookies would work too)
  • 1 package of 12-pack Peanut Butter Reese cups 
  • 1 box brownie mix   

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°
  2. Prepare cookie as directed on package
  3. Prepare brownie batter as directed on package
  4. Line muffin pans if desired
  5. Press a 1inch ball of cookie dough in the bottom of each pan
  6. Place an unwrapped Reese cup on top of the cookie dough
  7. Scoop a dollop of brownie batter on top the Reese cup 
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 20 min. 
  9. Cool on a wire rack
 Unfortunately, we usually don't have the patience to allow them to cool completely so they are still fairly gooey, but a delicious combination of classic desserts nonetheless. I made these for a family get together once, and we have called them "Yummy Yum Yums" ever since.  


Please attempt, tweak, and enjoy my favourite treat as my first official blog entry.
