I will admit, this is not my recipe, but I have memorized it because it’s just SO easy.

Ready for the Oven – Peach Cobbler

You can make this recipe with just about any type of berry or stone fruit (or mix!) and it will be wonderful.

Ingredients:

1 cup self-rising flour

1 cup milk

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup (one stick) butter

Fruit- the more the merrier

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Put the stick of butter in a 9″ by 12″ pan, and stick in the oven to melt the butter.

Whisk together the flour and sugar, then add the milk and stir until mixed.

Wash and cut up fruit.

Once the butter is melted, pour in the batter, add fruit on top.

Bake for one hour or until top is browned.

Enjoy! Maybe even with a scoop of vanilla ice cream….mmmm…

Peach Cobbler

Easiest thing ever right? And perfect for a somewhat light and fruity summer dessert!

The other night Mr. Lucky and I decided to have “Bistro Night” for dinner. I made chicken salad for sandwiches, and he made French Onion Soup! He found the recipe for the soup on Martha Stewart, and it was excellent. The only thing we would change is to cut back on the amount of Thyme called for (by at least half).

Chicken Salad Sandwich and French Onion Soup

I am sharing my own recipe for chicken salad, that I developed after enjoying the sandwiches as Starbucks. Not wanting to spend $8 on a little sandwich, I knew it would be easy to come up with something similar that I could recreate whenever I wanted.

Chicken Salad all stirred up

As with most recipes- you can change any amounts to suit your taste. Usually I don’t measure anything and just go with what I think looks good.
