We’ve been taking turns cooking on Wednesday nights. I was tasked with a Southern meal. As a true Southern cook, I, of course, went overboard. So overboard that I forgot to take pictures.
I made fried chicken, salmon croquettes (spicy and regular), zucchini croquettes (spicy and regular), macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, deviled eggs and homemade biscuits and gravy. I really wanted everyone to enjoy dinner, but I quickly learned that serving 10 people a quintessential Southern meal with one vegan, one part-time vegetarian, one who doesn’t eat pork or beef, and two who think anything that won’t set your tongue aflame is bland is no easy feat!
The Wife was a huge help and did all the frying while I worked myself into a tizzy trying to get everything wrapped up in those last minutes.
I did manage to take a photo of my peach cobbler though…
This is the Jules’ Gran’s recipe:
1 Stick of Butter
1 Can of Peaches or your fave fruit (or 3 fresh peaches sliced, but you’ll need to sugar them and let them sit so they produce juice)
1 Cup of Sugar
1 Cup of Milk
3/4 Cup of Self-Rising Flour
Melt the butter in your dish in the oven. Pour in fruit and juice. Mix the other ingredients in a bowl and pour over fruit and butter- DO NOT MIX. Bake at 350 until golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Super easy and I doubled all the ingredients except the fruit. Jules hates cooked fruit and everyone knows the breading is the best part anyway. You can even cut a little bit of the sinfulness out and still have a delicious cobbler- just use 3/4 stick of butter and 3/4 cup of sugar.
