This time of year, the peaches are still coming in strong and I have to say, peaches are at the top of my favorite summer fruit list.
Last week, our Whole Foods here in town had a special price of 69 cents a pound on fresh peaches from our peach-growing county, Chilton, so I stocked up on several pounds and decided that a peach cobbler was in order. My hubby was a happy man. I haven’t shared a recipe in awhile. I’m still cooking, just haven’t tried a lot of new recipes lately.
This is my mom’s peach cobbler recipe, straight out of our old church cookbook.
Peach Cobbler
1 stick butter, melted
3 or 4 cups peaches (I used about 6 fresh peaches)
1 c. self-rising flour (I used all purpose & added 1 tsp. baking powder)
1 c. sugar
1 c. milk
Put melted butter in 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Pour peaches over margarine. Combine flour, sugar and milk. Add to dish and stir slightly. Bake at 350* until brown and thick. Mine took about 30-40 minutes to get brown.
It will look a little lumpy when you mix the flour and milk, but it all cooks up nicely. 
And looks like this when it comes out of the oven, all golden brown, with syrupy peaches. I sprinkled on a little raw sugar when it went in the oven too. 
That calls for a little Blue Belle vanilla ice cream (or frozen yogurt) on top.
YUM! It’s SO good.
And as a fun little treat today, we have a meal planning online giveaway going on for ONE of you!!
{GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED}
One of my friends here in town is working with an online meal planning company called E-Mealz. She gave me a free download to try it out and we are giving away a free 3 month subscription ($15 value) for ONE of you to try too. The best thing is, this service is only $5 per month, so it is very affordable. Click on over and take a look at it all! Even Dave Ramsey endorses them. 🙂
You can look at the sample plans to see examples of the menus and one good thing is you can choose the point system, low carb, meals for 2, and several others that are specialized.
If you decide to try it out, enter the code “savemoney” to get an extra 10+% off. This is a very cost effective meal planning system.
Meal planning is not the easiest thing for me to keep up with, so this is a great way to get yourself organized and plan those meals for the family.
The thing I love about E-Mealz is the fact that you can choose the store you usually shop at and it has recipes and items that are on sale for that week at whatever store you choose to use: Kroger, Publix, Walmart, Aldi’s, there is a store for everyone. You then print off the recipes and shopping list and head to your local store for that week’s meals.
Doesn’t that sound like an easy way to stay ahead of the meal planning game?
Just leave a comment telling me if you have a challenge with meal planning like I do?!
I’ll leave this open until Thursday evening and one winner will receive a 3 mos. subscription to E-Mealz for your choice of plans.
I’m adding this to Jen’s Tasty Tuesday.

The winner of the Growing Tomatoes book is lucky #79, Amy A, the VERY last commenter. See, you never know which # Random.org will chose! Congrats, Amy!
I can never find the time to plan. I need help lol!
As a teacher with two hungry boys and a husband, this would definitely help with my meal planning and money saving.
As a mom of 4, I need all the help I can get!
Sounds awesome!
Rhoda, the Peach Cobbler looks AMAZING!!
Peaches are my favorite summer fruit too! I usually make a fruit crisp with them, which hubby loves, but he’d love a cobbler too!
Beautiful cobbler!
I love to cook but hate hate hate trying to figure out what to make every night!!
With 6 girls at home, this sure would come in handy! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
WOW! First of all, I am now craving peach cobbler, so I will have to make this later today ;-).
Secondly, I struggle with meal planning, with a teaching job, 3 teenagers and 2 in-and-out stepkids, I can’t ever seem to get it right! I could use all the help I can get. What a wonderful tool for busy women like us. Thanks, Rhoda!
I have a piece of note paper with this same recipe written on it by mygrandmother — one of most charished keepsakes.

I do actually meal plan for every trip to the grocery store, as I like to have a list with EXACTLY what I need so that the bill doesn’t get out of control. Plus it makes it easy to know what will be for dinner that night and not have to think so long about it. I am currently on weight watchers though and need some new inspiration. It gets old cooking the same stuff all the time. We love trying new recipes so this would be great! Thanks for hosting this!
I definitely do! I usually don’t know what we’re having until close to time to start cooking!
Would love to win! My biggest challenge is getting dinner on the table on busy weeknights!
This sounds like a fantastic idea! I would love to to have recipes for meals from items on sale. This would take the guesswork out of what to “fix” for my two growing boys! Love your blog!
Thanks for sharing the peach pie. I gained weight just looking at it! It was worth it:)
I am always aggravated when I hear “What’s for dinner?” Why? Because I feel inferior as a mother when I haven’t even given it a second thought until about 5pm! This would help.
I have started a new diet so meal planning is a little difficult right now. This would help out!
Being a GA girl, peach cobbler is my favorite dessert and that one looks so YUMMY! It doesn’t fit in with the new diet though. I’ll just admire your picture and imagine how good I know it tastes.
Dang it! I had an idea for an internet meal planning site 5 years ago but never acted on it. Shoot. Would love to swallow my pride and try it out
I lack originality when cooking, so I cook the same dishes over and over again cause they work. My poor family need a big time change! I would definitely use the online meal planner – what a great idea!
