Peach Cobbler (Lorren)

I finally made my peach cobbler. Again, I went for quick and easy so I could get caught up on these recipes. I looked for a recipe with canned peaches to save me that step. We had company and I didn't want to spend any extra time in the kitchen. This recipe was very quick and very easy! It was pretty good, too! Not the best peach cobbler I've ever had, but worth repeating. It would be a great recipe for when you need a dessert in a hurry! Here's the recipe:

INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine, melted
1 (29 ounce) can sliced canned peaches, drained
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugars, baking powder, salt and vanilla. Pour milk into dry ingredients and then stir in melted margarine. Mix thoroughly.
Pour mixture into a 9x13 inch baking pan. Arrange peaches on top and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Give it a try sometime when you need something quick and easy. It was great with vanilla ice cream!

Bourbon Glazed Chicken Minus the Bourbon (Lorren)

So I really cheated on this salmon recipe. I figured I had put it off long enough, though and had to give it my best shot. I didn't have any bourbon and so I used the marinade that mom used (different brand, but same type). I guess I misunderstood though and thought that she JUST used the marinade. I didn't realize she had marinated the salmon in bourbon first and then used the barbecue sauce. So, I basically just made brown sugar barbecue salmon. Not a great meal, but edible. I bought the cheapest frozen salmon I could find, too (it's been a tight month) and I'm sure that didn't help any. We had the Lotts join us for dinner and everyone ate their meal and said it was pretty good, but you have to take in to account that they were being polite. Savannah wouldn't even put it in her mouth, so we'll have to wait a while before we try salmon on her again. Overall, this wasn't a big success, but I'm sure made properly it's delicious. I'll have to try it the right way sometime.
