Now that you guys have seen my new kitchen I can mention that I finally had my family over for dinner at my place last week. I don’t think they’ve ever actually been here together at one time, nor for a family meal.
Now, I’m not a very good cook. Yet. I’ve never really had any reason to learn, and no space to do it in, either. With the new kitchen however, I’ve been a little more inspired.
When my family came over I stuck to something simple and just made pasta with some souped-up meat sauce that I did in the crockpot. Surprisingly everything turned out really well! I even made dessert and my dad *gasp!* said it was his favourite part of the meal.
You know what it was?
A peach crockpot cobbler! 🙂
I took inspiration from a lot of the crockpot recipes I’ve been researching and thought I’d give it a go. It was easy to make and tasted delish. Here’s the recipe if you want to give it a shot!
2 cans of canned peaches, drained
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup quick-cook oats
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened
Lightly butter your crock (I just sprayed with Pam) and dump your peaches in. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix well. Cut in butter with a fork (I ended up using my hands to mix–much easier!). Sprinkle the topping over the peaches and add a dash of love!
Cook in a vented crockpot (I used a chopstick to prop the lid open to prevent condensation) for about 5 hours on low.
Serve with ice cream and enjoy!
The photo up top is how mine turned out. Make sure you vent your crockpot though otherwise it will end up a little mushy. Mine did because I didn’t think to vent it until later on. I suppose a quick jaunt under the broiler might dry it up a bit, but that was too much work for me.
In any case it tasted fabulous, and I think I’m going to make another one today!

Ohhhh that looks good – I’m going to have to try this, it’s sounds so easy!!! I lurve peaches.
Ok, stupid question… by venting do you mean like leaving the lid slightly open the whole time (like sticking a spoon under it??). It looks fabulous!! Yum.
CS: Yep! I used a chopstick to prop the lid open a bit. A spoon might work, too!
Congrats on your renovation! What a big difference. And you can’t go wrong with a cobbler 😉 Mmmmmmmm!
