the kids and I hit the farmers market last Saturday...
Beau was going to the library sale and he likes to wait in line....
and well,
well, the crew that shows up early and waits for the library sale is a very interesting mix of people...
so rather than wait around and people watch
(it is a good group to people watch with, but maybe not with the kids in tow)...
anyways, rather than wait the kids and I walked over to the farmers market...
I wanted some peaches and some honey...
got both, and the peaches were gone by Sunday afternoon...
 |
| yeah, I know, I take amazing pictures...don't be jealous! |
I
arrived at the market around 11 and the peaches were almost all gone, I asked for 10 lbs because some ladies at the office wanted some too...and some for eating...
it was the last pickin's of the day and she sold me her last 10 lbs,
& they were all seconds and needed to be used that day...
took all 10 lbs to the office
only got rid of maybe 2.5 of the 10 lbs
& I was left with just less than 8 lbs of peaches...
that needed to be uses asap...
so I set to work peeling those little guys...
and before I knew it I had a helper...
the girl child came it,
donned her apron
found a knife
and asked me how she could help...
before I knew it she had taken over all the peaches and I had moved onto making the 'cobbler' part...
it was great working together with my girl..
she peeling and slicing peaches, me mixing up the cobbler...
talking about girl stuff....
laughing...
and then cleaning up the mess of peach juice all over the floor and counters...
and then enjoying the girls first cobbler...
 |
| this was only 1 of the 2 cobblers we ended up with, the other went to our neighbors... |
it was a bubbling, golden bit of heaven...
I love a good cobbler....
but a girls' first cobbler...that's just priceless...
Whole Wheat Peach Cobbler
peaches
6-8 peaches-peeled and sliced
1/2-1 cup sugar
(depending on the sweetness of the peaches, you may be able to cut this down to 1/4 cup)
2 Tbs cornstarch
2 tsp vanilla
cobbler
1 1/2cups whole wheat flour (or regular if you want)
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
pre-heat oven to 350
place peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla into large saucepan, stir over med heat until mixture begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
while peaches are cooking mix up cobbler,
mix all dry ingredients together, and then cut in butter. once mixture is crumbly slowly add in milk.
pour peaches into a greased 13x9 inch pan and then drop spoonfuls of cobbler over top of peaches...
bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes until cobbler is golden and bubbling...
serve warm with vanilla ice cream and or whipped cream...
or for breakfast...
no judgement...
it's whole wheat, oats and peaches...that's a good breakfast...
and well it's better than doughnuts...
check out this amazing recipe book...

How fun! Can't wait to do this with my girl someday! Also, reminded me of the peach tree we had in our backyard in Fresno. Peaches were so ripe that I could make a peach pie without sugar! Delish!
Yum! All ready to make this except there is 1/2cup of something missing after the flour, unless it doesn't need to be there. Ahh, after re-reading, I bet it's the oatmeal!
