I have a confession to make. Well, another one. I am addicted to Peach Cobbler. There I said it.
Whenever I am out at a restaurant or diner and I see it on a menu, I have to have some. This goes way back to my having to choose an elective in school and the one I chose was Home Economics. Because who doesn’t want to eat food during school!
That class made my friends very happy. I remember going to English class, which was after Home Ec, with food and just sitting back watching my friends eat it. Even back then I enjoyed sharing food with people.
The one dish I clearly remember from that time was the Peach Cobbler I made. And when I say I clearly remember, I mean I remember how simple it was. I haven’t made this version of it since back then basically because I couldn’t remember the recipe. Every single recipe I came across since then wasn’t quite right.
Then I went to Atlanta, GA and found the exact recipe on a magnet in a hotel gift shop. I was too cheap to buy it so I took a picture of it on my phone. Then deleted it without realizing what I was trashing. I recently came across the recipe again and knew I had to make it for old times sake. But, of course, I had to add my own little bit of seasoning to it.
This was given two thumbs up by the family and by me. Next time I am going to add Maple Syrup to it just to see how that melds with this old Southern dish.
