Peaches, Etc.

I LOVE really ripe peaches - don't you? I also LOVE peach cobbler, but I am needing a really good recipe... care to share? I'm craving putting one of these aprons on and making some yummy cobbler and, of course, topping it with rich vanilla ice cream!

I spent some time in Vintage today and here's a little peek of a  mirror that has decided to come home with me -  I fell in love with the chippy orange flowers...

AND I met the sweetest lady who came into the shop and who reads my blog...She was SO kind and SO nice and meeting her made my day!   :-) 

I'm sending her a virtual (((hug))) right now and I hope that we meet again soon.

Let's see - anything else? Oh, I found this painting last week in a shop that is located in a charming, historic town about two hours away. Luckily for me, it is on the way to my daughter's school so I will definitely be going back and I'll make sure to have my camera with me too. You know I love vintage floral paintings and I thought this one was perfect for this corner...

As the store employee was wrapping the painting for me to take home she said, "This is such a happy painting!" I smiled and said, "I know. I think so too."   

And so does Miss Daisy.   ;-)

Fabulous frame! I just love it and it's perfect for you Kim. Enjoy.

[cindy~my romantic home]

Wow, I think that is so cool that people recognize you from your blog! You're famous!

[Lallee]

Funny, I remember seeing that painting when you showed the shop pics, and I thought surely it needed to come to Daisy Cottage. Bravo it happened! I don't have a cobbler recipe to share, but those peaches sure make me want some to eat!
Hugs,
Lallee

I love your new profile pic Kim!

Re peach cobbler, I actually make peach pie vs. cobbler. But, more like a cobbler I sometimes make a recipe that is so easy I'm embarrassed to share. You won't believe the compliments I get when I make this. Simply fill a 9x13 dish with your sliced peaches. I like to sprinkle a tad of cinnamon over the peaches. Then take a dry yellow cake mix and sprinkle over the peaches. I usually will add some chopped pecans over the dry cake mix. Then you melt a stick of margarine or butter and pour that over the top of everything - bake @ 350 till bubbly and lightly browned. So yummy and easy!

Hi Kim,
I wish I did have a peach cobbler recipe, however I usually make pies instead. I love your mirror you got today and your painting. It was meant for you.

Hugs,
LeAnn:)

Kim, I love peaches too especially in a bowl of cereal. Your new mirror and floral print are great, and I know you will enjoy them . Have a great evening.

Hi, Kim!

I don't have a recipe to share, but now I feel the need to make a peach cobbler too!

I think I love that store, Vintage. It looks fascinating! Can't wait to see where you put the mirror.

And how could you not love the flower painting...

Take care and give Maggie a hug from everyone here at my house in Pa.

Have a great evening.

Oh, the mirror and the painting are perfect for your house!

And I'd love a fresh ripe peach right now! You made my mouth water!

[Toni from NC]

The mirror is BEAUTIFUL! I love to decorate with mirrors. Congrats on a wonderful find for your home.

[Catherine]

Looks like Tina has the same recipe that I have. You should definitely try it! I love the painting and the frame. You always seem to find the pieces that suit your style.
Hugs,

[Michelle]

Love your painting. It reminds me of the pictures that my great-aunt use to paint. She moved to Florida during her golden years. Does the painting have the name of the painter on it?

[Jenni- nest to keep]

Hi Kim~
I love all the colors of your aprons! There is nothing more fun than baking with a cute apron on! :)

The painting and mirror look like they will fit in your house just fine! :)

I hope you have a great evening!

[nola, of the alamo north]

Sorry, no recipe suggestions, but I will volunteer to be a taste tester! Loved the aprons; I always see something adorable here at Daisy Cottage that makes me go "awwwwww".

[Nancy]

I love coming to Daisy cottage; a warm welcoming place. Thank you Kim. I love the peach cobbler recipe shared above. I will try it soon. In the winter when there are no fresh peaches I used canned ones to make the following. Always a winner.

Peach Pinwheel
Paste:
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons soft butter

Filling:
3 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned)
3 tablespoons quick tapioca
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar

Biscuits:
1 1/2 cups Bisquick
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons soft butter

Paste: Mix ingredients together.

Filling: Place peaches in greased baking dish (dish with lid works best). Mix tapioca, sugar and water together and pour over peaches.

Biscuits: Combine Bisquick and sugar; add milk and butter. Stir until a soft dough is formed. Turn onto lightly floured (with Bisquick) board and knead about 10 times. (Add Bisquick until dough is rollable.) Roll into an oblong shape; spread with soft butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture. Roll like a jellyroll. Cut into pieces and place on peaches. Bake at 425 degrees F for 25 minutes (or a little longer). Biscuits should be browned lightly.

Serve with milk, whipped cream or plain. Keep refrigerated.

[Alauar Parrish]

Love the painting, and it is a happy looking one too. Great find.

Have a great week.

Hugs;

Love that mirror and the picture is perfect for Daisy Cottage! Wow, you're famous now but just wait until that magazine hits the stands!

[Rhondi]

Hi Kim
The mirror and frame are lovely treasures. They'll look just perfect in your home.
Hugs, Rhondi

[Bettye]

Love your orange chippy flower frame - can't wait to see where it ends up.

Do you know your music always makes me a little teary-eyed??

[rue]

Hi Kim :)

Both the mirror and the painting are happy, especially now that they're in Daisy Cottage ;)

My peach cobbler recipe comes from a good friend of the family. When I was little I used to beg her to make it :)

Paulette's Peach Cobbler:

10 fresh peaches peeled and sliced (or 3 cans drained)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 stick butter

Place peaches in 9 x 13 inch sprayed pan. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar. Mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar and butter. Put over peaches. Bake 30 minutes at 400 degrees.

I hope you love it as much as our family does.

Thank you so much for knowing and understanding me. It's harder then I'm letting on, but my house is out there somewhere. I just need it to find me ;)

Love,
rue

This is a cobbler recipe I made about a week ago. It had rave reviews...
(Go to my family blog to see it as I put it together, if you wish:

http://okgardners.blogspot.com/

------------------------------------

Cobbler Recipe

Preheat Oven to 350 F.
Spray a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray (or melt 1/2 cup butter in dish) - Spray works great!
* 6 to 7 cups fruit (peaches, berries, whatever you desire)
* Sprinkle about one Tablespoon of cornstarch over fruit, mix and set aside (I had none, so sprinkled sugar instead)

Batter Recipe

In a large bowl, combine:
* 2 cups sugar
* 2 cups self-rising flour
* Dash of Nutmeg
* Add to the mixture two cups milk containing a teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix together.
(The batter will be slightly lumpy.)
Pour batter into prepared baking dish, then top with the fruit.

Bake one hour or until crust is golden. (Took 1 hr. 15 min. for mine)
I chose to make peach cobbler with blueberries. (I had some blueberries that were too tart to eat.) It was very pretty to look at and was very YUMMY as well!

[janet @ Housepeepers]

Kim,

I am lazy in the summer, so I just make little turnovers with Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. Roll out a square of pastry, slice a peach on top, add a sprinkle of fresh nutmeg, some sugar to taste and fold it up and bake it for 20 minutes until puffed and golden and top with vanilla ice cream. Done ( and gone) in no time flat!

Janet

[PamperingBeki]

I love that mirror! Great find as always.

I've been obsessed with peach tea lately. YUM!

Kim, I see someone has already given you the recipe with the yellow cake mix. Oh my goodness...my family goes crazy when I make this. It is so yummy! And I do LOVE peaches!! xo rachel

[Jackie]

Hi Kim, I wish I did have a recipe to share, but not at the moment! I'm at work, lol. I just wanted to say how much I LOVE your blog...I check it everyday.

My friend and I went to Vintage a couple of Saturdays ago and met Angie! After drowling over all the wonderful merchandise, I chatted with Angie, for what seemed an eternity! Wonderful gal, she is!! We discussed You and Daisy Cottage as well....

After leaving Vintage, we took a drive around Lake Morton, looking over all the sweet cottages and architecture. Low and behold I think I made my friend deaf---I spotted the One and Only Daisy Cottage, I squealed with delight...It is even prettier in person, Kim!!!
Jackie

[Erin]

We make a simple but delicious peach cobbler.
Although we've never made it with fresh peaches. We take 1 large can and 1 small can of sliced peaches, with the juice, pour into a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle a yellow cake mix on top of that and pour 1 stick of melted butter on top of the cake mixture evenly. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until brown. It is delicious with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

[Gretchen Gerg]

I'm at work right now Kim but I'll e-mail you a terrific recipe for Peach Cobbler tonight.

Those peaches look luscious, and your photo is grand. I like the painting too, and it goes so well against your yellow walls. I found you through Brenda's blog, and I'm glad I did.~~Dee

[megan]

SO happy!! I love vintage paintings of all kinds, but I tend to buy more landscapes. I have a couple of flower paintings on old ceiling tin's that I cherish, though.

mmmm. peach anything sounds dreamy...

[The Decorated House]

Hi Kim~
The painting looks perfect and that mirror is so much fun with the chipping and other paints left on it.
Hope your kiddo is doing great on her new adventure.

[Melissa]

This is by far the best peach cobbler I've ever made or had. I've made it a ton this summer. It tends to be really sweet, so if your peaches are sweet, you may want to adjust the sugar a bit. Oooo... It's so good all warm and gooey with a bit of cold milk poured over the top. Mmmm...

Wonderful photographs. I love that mirror, and peaches are wonderful, especially this time of year. Karen

[Elaine L.]

I don't have a recipe, but my friend makes one that is the best I've ever tasted and she uses canned peaches. One thing that I think makes a difference is the Vanilla.

I love that mirror and can't wait for you to post a pic of where you hang it.

Using oven mitts, remove hot bakind dish fromoven. Pour batter into baking dish. Spoon peaches and any peach juices evenly over batter. Bake until batter rises and browns on top, about 30 min.

It IS a happy smiley painting. love it!

[Janera]

I love me some fresh peaches, too. Nothing better! Won't throw in a recipe since it looks like you've got some yummy ones here already, but I will tell you this:

If you want some yummy-smelling cobbler in the air but not on the hips, Gold Canyon has a candle called "Cobbler on the Porch".

Oh, sweet mercy. You'll want to lick it.

My husband just brought home what are probably the last peaches from the farmers market for the year. I was thinking peaches and cream, but the salsa idea is a good one!!

Great flower art BTW, and great site.

[flower painter ashley]

The flower chair picture is my favorite. Nice variations in light and color. The peach them is delicious....
