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.

I need this so badly! I work full time, am a full time student, and just had my first baby…needless to say I am SWAMPED. I really need to meal plan for budgeting and dietary reasons, but I am really struggling with being consistent.
What a great website!
Oh, and I am so going to try your peach cobbler recipe!
Thank you!
This looks like a fabulous opportunity to try something new. It seems like we are all trying to come up with something to make meal planning easier. I’m curious about trying it out and trying the point system (I hope that refers to WW), as well as the grocery shopping by ads. Sounds like a brilliant idea to me.
I love peaches!!! Ours are gone. But, I truly enjoyed them, while we did have them. I use the same recipe, but girl, I found this recipe; where you blend sugar and vanilla together with a fork and sprinkle on top before placing in the oven. It gives a sweet flavor and a touch of crispness on top. Give it a try!
That peach cobbler looks wonderful! So your hubby’s a cobbler man, too?
Meal planning is the bane of my existence. This sounds like a service really worth using! Thank you so much for the giveaway.
Meal planning is always a problem..I never seem to have the things I need for a meal or food gets wasted because when I do plan, I don’t plan very well.
I have never been good at meal planning, need help!
I am AWFUL at meal planning. I REALLY need this giveaway!
Thanks for the recipe! I have some fresh peaches I was going to use with a Paula Deen cobbler recipe but this one looks much simpler. Wonderful timely post!
Mercy, that cobbler looks good!!!! 🙂
I’d love to try a meal planning service. My challenge is coming up with family friendly recipes that don’t take ages to get on the table. I have a hard time sitting down to plan out a week/month’s worth of meals and doing the shopping list, etc.
I would love that! Meals has to be the most stressful time of my day and even thinking ahead is such a chore. Whether I win or not, I will be checking the site out!
Great idea! It would save me lots of time. I hope i win! 🙂
yes, I can definitely use the help… I’m starting up homeschooling this fall for the first time in 5 years… oy!
I could definitely use some menu planning help and I LOVE that they have a vegetarian menu option! I have been considering trying this service and I would love a free trial to see how is works for us.
Your peach cobbler looks YUMMY! I do enjoy cooking so I rely on cook books myself. A meal planner is a good idea
I would love to get better at meal planning!
would love some help with meal planning….avid eater, poor planner:)
On my way out the door to purchase peaches ……
I do all the classic no/no’s – no plan, no idea, no time and no direction. Desperate need of help here. This would help me out so, so much. Thanks for the great giveaway!
