Come what may, I am bound to think that all things are ordered for the best; though when the good is a furlong off, and we with our beetle eyes can only see three inches, it takes some confidence in general principles to pull us through. – The Stark Munro Letters by Arthur Conan Doyle

Easy, Tasty Peach Cobbler Recipe

Peach Cobbler

I test all of the recipes on this site before I share them with you.  My search for a good potato bread recipe still haunts me.  I must have tried six different recipes before I found one that I liked. The point is that I test these recipes and not everything that I try makes it into the website.

I had high hopes for this one, but when it came out of the oven I thought it was a failed experiment.  It was drippy and it looked a little weird.  Then I tasted it.  Yum!  So here you are, a cobbler that’s a little messy and looks a bit strange.  However, it’s also very tasty and super easy to make.  It’s also a great way to use up those last couple of slices of bread.

I should also say that this recipe is based on Loaf Bread Apple Pie from A Cake Bakes in Brooklyn.

Easy, Tasty Peach Cobbler

2 15-ounce cans of sliced peaches, drained
2 slices of lightly toasted bread, crusts removed
1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 egg, beaten
1/2 Cup sugar
4 Tablespoon butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Grease an 8 by 8 baking pan. Add the drained peaches. Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg over the peaches.

Cut each slice of bread into 4 pieces and arrange over the peaches. Combine the egg, sugar and butter.  Pour over the bread slices.

Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. After cooking let it rest for 5 minutes.

You’ll have to serve this in a bowl because it’s a little drippy. And you know, a bow

Homemade Stuffing from Leftover Bread

Stuffing

Making stuffing is one of the ways that I use up leftover bread.  I’m talking bread heels, those last slices of milk bread or bread that didn’t quite turn out.

You can use any sort of bread in this stuffing recipe.  However, if you have enough leftover raisin bread this stuffing is fantastic.  The apples and the raisins really go well together and give the stuffing a slightly sweet flavor.

I’ll also tell you that this goes really well with pork roast.

Stuffing Recipe

1 Cup hot water
2 Chicken bouillon cubes
1/4 Cup diced onion
1/2 tsp celery seed
1 tsp poultry seasoning
dash ground pepper
1 Apple -cored, chopped, unpeeled
2 Tablespoons butter – melted
3 Cups torn/crumbled bread (or enough to soak up the liquid)

Dissolve the bouillon cubes in the hot water.  Add the rest of the spices.  Combine the water mixture with the rest of the ingredients in a big bowl.  Stir until all the liquid has been dissolved into the bread.

Spray a bread pan or square cooking pan with nonstick cooking spray.   Put the stuffing in the pan and cover with tin foil.  Bake at 350 degrees for forty minutes.
