Dutch Oven Apple Cobbler
This was soooo good! My Mother-in-Law and Father-in-Law brought us some apples when they came for the weekend earlier this month. We peeled and sliced many of them to freeze for apple pies down the road and decided an after dinner treat was in order for the rest. A big thanks to my husband for…
My Mom’s Strombolis

Frozen Peach Slices for Peach Cobbler
Last year we froze apple slices for apple pie and they were fun to use later in the year, so I wanted to give sliced peaches a try for this year. We did 6 sliced peaches in each of the freezer ziploc bags to use in peach cobbler down the road. Our middle kiddo is…
Homemade Peach Cobbler
Yay for peaches! We ordered a large box from a neighbor’s fundraiser and ours arrived late last week. They started to be perfectly ripened over the weekend. We made this peach cobbler on Monday night and it was a huge hit. This is a lightened up version compared to other recipes and only uses 3…
