Peach Cobbler

Today we are having Peach Cobbler.  I haven't had my oven on in a while since it's like 100 degrees outside and has been for several weeks.  But, I got the loveliest looking peaches -  I just had to make a cobbler.




First ....

Sift your dry ingredients.  Don't you like my sifter?  I think it's 20 years old.  It used to have a wooden ball on the handle, but it fell off.  I know that's more info than you wanted to know.  :) 

Look!  It's a snow covered mountain!  I can wish, can't I? :)  *sorry about the glare*

Combine wet and dry ingredients; stir until well combined.

 Put sliced peaches on top.  With a spoon or your hands gently press peaches into mixture, until they are level with the batter.  DO NOT STIR   It wouldn't hurt to place a sheet pan underneath to catch any spills.

 

Serve with vanilla ice cream!

Banana Bread

Do you have some bananas in the kitchen turning brown?  Thinking about tossing them out?   

Well, let me tell you ... this is when bananas are in their prime.   So, "carefully" pull the peelings off and make ...

Banana Bread

                                                                
Buttermilk Banana Bread with Vanilla-Almond Glaze

1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
3 average sized bananas, mashed. (extra ripened for more banana flavor)
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract  (I used homemade vanilla extract)
1- 1/2 cup self-rising flour


Cream butter and sugar together.  Add eggs, bananas, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix well.  Slowly add flour to banana mixture.  Mix until well combined.

Pour batter into a greased and floured 1.5 qt loaf pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 50 - 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.


*pan size I used; 5.25 x 9 x 2.75 *




*Tip:   Pour the glaze recipe over a warm bread, not hot.  Very Important!*


For the Vanilla - Almond Glaze

Combine in a small bowl:

1 cup confectioners sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 - to 1/4 tsp. almond extract


Whisk together and pour over your scrumptious banana loaf.
 
Enjoy!

Nutter Butter Banana Pudding

Nutter Butter Banana Pudding

1   -   5.1 oz  Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
1   -   20 oz   can crushed pineapple, drained
3   -   large bananas, sliced
1/2  box Nutter Butter Cookies, broken in half
1   -   8 oz   extra creamy cool whip
Cherries to garnish, optional


Put pudding mix in a medium size bowl; set aside.  

In another bowl - drain pineapples, and reserve liquid.  

Combine the juice of the pineapple with two cups milk, pour over pudding mix.  (you should get 1-cup of pineapple juice from the can)  added with milk to make three cups of liquid.   

Whisk pudding mix. If the pudding mix doesn't set up rather quickly, put it in the freezer for just a little while.
Add the drained pineapple, and sliced bananas to your pudding; stir to combine.


In a 2-1/2 quart bowl add: a layer of broken nutter butters, then  1/2 of pudding mixture, then 1/2 of the cool whip.  Continue layering and top with cool whip, garnish with cherries.

Refrigerate overnight. 



*The next time I make this I'm going to add some almond extract or vanilla extract - or maybe both.*

Sift flour, baking soda, and baking powder into another medium bowl.Using electric mixer, beat both sugars and mayonnaise in large bowl until well blended, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating until well blended after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture in 4 additions alternately with the melted chocolate mixture in 3 additions, beating until blended after each addition and occasionally scraping down sides of bowl.

Divide batter among prepared cake pans (about 2 1/3 cups for each).
