I've got to admit that I've been really busy these last few weeks. I'm not used to entertaining family for more than 5 days. I know my in-laws were here for over a month. But that doesn't count. They took care of me. 

My sister-in-law teased me the other day and called me Julie from The Love Boat. The girls have been here from Italy for almost a month.  Yes, I've been a busy bee taking the cousins everywhere their hearts desire. Their hearts desire is usually the mall. I'm fine with the mall for like say, one hour. Then I don't need to see it for another year. They could spend 12 hours at the mall and still not be satisfied.

And of course I've been baking them something different almost every day. Since I had just made some peach preserves, I had to try this skillet cobbler.

How do you make a skillet peach cobbler dessert?

Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients; stir until smooth.

  6. This looks so warm and comforting. You are an awesome host! Though I can definitely relate to the stresses of entertaining out of town guests. Living in Phoenix, they are always here in the winter escaping the colder weather! Most times I love it, but the Grand Canyon is to me now what the mall is to you. Really? We are going there again? 🙂

  7. Who doesn't love peach cobbler!?! And with the Kerrygold butter....wow! Double deliciousness.

  8. This is literally torture to wake up to. You and Deeba with your desserts, if only I could have a slice. Welcome home and happy to see you more on twitter.

  9. Oh my goodness, I don't think I've ever seen anything 'baked peach' that has blown me away to this extent. That cobbler is not only stunning (great photos) it's exactly what I've been looking for to use up some peaches!

    Oh, BTW, LOL@ Julie McCoy!
