I am sure you have noticed - this seems to have become a weekly blog instead of the faithfully daily a year ago -- but too many things have seemed to take my time! The shot worked and my back is holding out amazingly -- so hopefully the one next year will help even more!! Thank the dear Lord and for all the prayers that went up on my behalf!! If it had not helped -- how would I have gone up and down stairs this weekend at LTC. - AN AWESOME EVENT - SUCH TALENTED CHILDREN -- AND ALTHOUGH I STILL DON'T KNOW ALL OF THEM - I KNOW SOME OF THE PARENTS AND I LOVE THEM ALL! Now I just have to get on my soap box a little! How on earth could anyone condemn what is done at LTC/?? There is one church I know of that decided this year they were not going to LTC - they didn't like the direction it was going! Is the devil leading them or what?? The entire event is based on the Bible - Revelations 22:7 - where Jesus says "I am coming soon!" And it was so evident in every event, in every song and every time I saw the kids - they behaved perfectly! Our kids that is!!! It is so sad that people get so narrow minded that they limit the children and their opportunity to praise God and learn to live like Him. Sad!!
Cooking - yes cooking. I will be cooking - God's Will - on Wednesday for our Church. Bought most of the groceries this afternoon at Sams! But I have a couple of great recipes for you tonight. The first is a wonderful peach cobbler I had the other day at a customer's birthday celebration.
GRANNY’S PEACH COBBLER My Mother’s Basic Recipe-
Use a 9 X 12 pan, chunky cut up a stick of butter into pan.
Set pan in oven. Turn on to 425 degrees.
While melting butter, mix together:
1 cup Pioneer Original Baking Mix
1 cup Sugar
¾ cup Milk- whole is better, 2% is good, Half & Half is best
Peaches, the bigger size can
¼ cup of juice from canned peaches
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
When butter is melted:
Pour batter into hot pan, spoon peaches (use some of the juice, but not all) over batter, Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture to taste.
Return to 425 oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat to 340 degrees and bake for about 30 minutes. Watch the last few minutes/ More or less time may be needed.
The recipe is wonderful, the more you bake it- you will become comfortable with your preferences.
The recipe can be made smaller/ or larger. The proportions for the batter are always one cup baking mix- to one cup sugar- to one cup liquid
Enjoy!!
The original basic recipe is used at The Olde Store in Gallatin. This was given to me by good friend "Marilena Morgan!!"
I was at Sams last Sunday afternoon after church and eating and this lady was giving away cookbooks! Really free - and not sleezy - really nice. One of the recipes is one I am looking forward to making this summer! Flag this and try it too!
GRILLED PEACH SALSA
3 large, ripe peaches
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup minced red onion
3 Tbsp. minced jalapeno pepper
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Fresh ginger
Salt and pepper to taste
Slice peaches in half and remove pit. Brush generously with vegetable oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Grill on medium-high until soft and somewhat colored, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Chop into small chunks. Combine ingredients in a bowl and toss to mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper (and more jalapeno, if you like it spicy!) Serve immediately as a garnish to a favorite dish or as a topper with toasted baguette and cream cheese.
JON CAROLE'S VERSION:
Add at least 2 cloves of garlic and 1 tablespoon cumin! I promise it will be better!!!
I really hope I am not just wasting time and no one tries these because they are really good! I made the hot rolls - according to corrected recipe and they turned out perfect!!! Even my 93 year old Mom asked for the recipe!!! What a compliment - especially when she used to make the most awesome bread, rolls, and best of all - cinnamon rolls! It made it hard to stay skinny with those wonderful rolls!
I hope all of you have a great week -- I am cooking at Shiloh Wednesday night and making the old standby - Hash Brown potato casserole - and the peach cobbler I just gave you times eight!!! Pray for me!!
Have a blessed evening -- remember - as Dave Sanderson's Mom once told him: "Always do the right thing and God will take care of you!"
