The Best Southern Peach Cobbler Bread

     You probably have heard of banana bread, or maybe even apple bread, but I have never heard of a peach bread.  So I decided to come up with this recipe, and it turned out great!  It always comes out super moist and delicious!  It tastes just like a peach cobbler but in bread form.

 

 

The Best Southern Peach Cobbler Bread

 3 c. flour

2 c. sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 c. oil

4 eggs

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla 

3 (15oz.) cans peach chunks, well drained

Icing: 

1 c. powdered sugar

2 T. milk

 

      In the bowl. combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.  Stir and then  add in oil, eggs, and vanilla.  And then gently stir in drained peaches with a wooden spoon.   

 

           

      Divide batter evenly between two well greased loaf pans. 

 Bake at 350 degrees for 43-47 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out almost clean (a tooth pick or fork).  Cool completely.

     In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk.  Drizzle glaze evenly over both loaves. 

   

   Ronny & Ron both said this is their new favorite fruit bread in the world!

The Very Best Sloppy Joe Seasoning Mix

     Sloppy Joe Seasoning Mix is very easy to make.  More than likely, you have everything in your pantry right now to make this today.  I mean, why buy a store brand mix when you can make this yourself without all the preservatives and junk the store-brand kind have in them.

 

The Very Best Sloppy Joe Seasoning Mix

1 T. dehydrated onion   

1 T. paprika

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/4 tsp. celery seed

    Mix all ingredients together and use immediately or store in a small mason jar or baggie.

     The above mix will make enough to use with one pound of meat to make sloppy joes.  You can easily double or triple the recipe if so desired.

     To make sloppy joes, brown 1 pound of ground beef.  Drain the fat, then add in 1 cup of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup of water and the seasoning mix.  Turn the stove onto medium and heat until the mixture is hot.  Simmer for about 10 minutes and then serve and enjoy.

    If you prepare a big batch of the mix (double or tripled the recipe), use 1/3 cup of the seasoning per pound of meat.

The Best Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix Recipe

   

  I just love hot chocolate.  I drink it all year long, but especially once it gets cooler.  Nothing beats a cup of hot chocolate on a chilly day and this mix makes the best homemade hot chocolate that you can find!  Not only is it delicious but it makes the perfect gift too.

 

    This recipe of mine makes a great gift like I mentioned before, and it is super cheap to make too.  It is so economical to make and to give out and the taste is far superior to any store-bought mix on the market.  The hot chocolate turns out rich, thick, creamy and delicious!  My mouth is watering just in anticipation!

 

The Best Homemade Hot chocolate Mix Recipe

2 1/2 c. powdered milk

1 1/4 c. cocoa 

4 c. powdered sugar

1 c. powdered creamer 

dash of salt

       To make the mix, put all of your ingredients into a bowl and stir together.  once they are well combined, pour the mix into a 1 quart canning jar(s).  Put on the lid and decorate the lid if you are giving them as gifts, or just leave the lid plain if you are making them for yourself.

 

     To make a cup of hot chocolate, put 1/4 cup of the mix into a mug and stir in 6-8 ounces of very hot water. Enjoy!

 

     I like to stir in some mini-marshmallows or whipped cream sometimes too.  Instead of using water, you can  use milk for an extra creamy drink.

 

     For variety, you can use a "flavored" dry creamer, such as pumpkin spice or french vanilla.

 

 

     Store your mix in sealed canning jars indefinitely because there is nothing in the mix that should go bad.

 

     Each mug of hot cocoa has 12 gr. carbs.

Easy Homemade Chicken Gravy Mix From Scratch

     Our family has mashed potatoes a lot.  It's one of our favorite ways to enjoy potatoes and if we have mashed potatoes, we love having some gravy to put it over the top.  The envelopes of chicken gravy mix you buy at the store are full of things I'd rather not have my family consume, so I decided to start making chicken gravy from scratch!  This recipe is super inexpensive, healthier than store-bought, and tastes ten times better too!  You'll be able to whip up some homemade chicken gravy for your family in a mere few minutes!

 

Easy Homemade Chicken Gravy Mix From Scratch

1-1/3 c. nonfat dry milk

3/4 c. flour + 1 T.

1/4 c. chicken bullion granules

1/2 tsp. ground sage

1/2 tsp. black pepper 

1/2 tsp. thyme leaves

1/2 tsp. rosemary

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. onion powder 

     Put all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl, stir together and put into quart sized jar until ready to use.

     To make the chicken gravy:  In a small saucepan, melt a half stick (4 tsp.) of butter.  After butter is melted, add in a 1/2 cup of you gravy mix.  Cook and stir it over medium heat until browned, it should only take about a minute.  Whisk in a 3/4 cup of cold water and stir until it is smooth.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and then turn to low and stir and cook for 2 minutes or until it is thickened.

     Makes 4 batches of gravy.  

    2 tablespoons of gravy is a serving. And each serving has 2 grams of carbs.

Homemade Spice Cake Mix

     There is something so warm and inviting about a spice cake.  They smell so good and taste even better.  

 
       
     Today I am providing you a recipe that will make you a "mix" So anytime you want to enjoy a spice cake, you only need to add the wet ingredients and you will be ready to go!  

      
     This is like your own "box" mix without all the "fake" ingredients.  it tastes better than a box and is better for you than a box.

Spice Cake Mix

For the mix:

2 1/2 c. flour

11/2 c. dark brown sugar

1 T. cinnamon

1 T. baking powder

1 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. cloves

1/2 tsp. ginger

1/2 tsp. salt

 

      Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Then, use your cake mix right away, or store it an air-tight container for later.  This mix fits perfectly in quart sized jar.  It's as easy as that!  

      

     To make the cake: 

1 Homemade spice cake mix

1/4 c. milk

1 stick of butter, softened

3 lg. eggs, beaten

1 T. vanilla 

chopped nuts, optional

     Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

     Pour your cake mix into a large bowl, stir in your butter.  Then add the beaten eggs. Stir again.  Now add in the the milk and mix just until it is just blended.  But do not over-mix the cake.

      Grease and lightly flour your cake pan(s).  And then pour in your batter and spread it out evenly.  Bake for 28-30 or until your cake(s) are done.  I like to frost my cake with a cream cheese frosting.  Sprinkle the nuts on top if you want.  Cut and enjoy!

 

     

I also make a chocolate cake mix that makes 3 cakes.

Breakfast Rice

      Breakfast rice is a delicious, comforting and filling breakfast. It's great on days you don't have a lot of time.  You can eat breakfast rice any time of the day, but our family prefers to eat it for breakfast.  We have it once or twice a week and it is always good.  It's easy to make and we often make it when we go camping too.  It is also a way to use leftover rice.

 

 

Breakfast Rice

cooked rice, 1/2 c. per serving

milk, to your taste

dab of butter (optional)

sugar. to your taste

    To give you some ideas on amounts to add, for me, I add in 1/8 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar and love it like this.

 

 

    My hubby likes his with the butter and uses brown sugar instead of white, and sometimes sprinkles some raisins and cinnamon on it too.
