I love making lists. I think that is one of the reasons 43 Things is one of my favorite websites. It is all about making lists and marking things off. Sometimes (ok…everyday), I’ll even add something to my daily sticky note lists, just so I can mark it off!
After finally finishing my “I Will Make This Someday – Magazine Version” list, which let me tell you… was quite the project… I felt like I needed to make something just so I could mark it off the list.
Out shopping for produce yesterday, I came across a stand that had fresh peaches. Juicy, ripe and delicious peaches. Peaches have never been my favorite fruit, but there was something about these peaches that were so tempting. I decided to pick up a few pounds to bring home, remembering that one of the recipes on my list was for a peach cobbler.
Texas Peach Cobbler is what I ended up making with the fresh peaches I brought home. This recipe was a perfect use of the peaches as the cobbler complemented the true flavors of the peaches well. If you, like me, enjoy making lists then make sure you add Texas Peach Cobbler to your list…even if it is just so you can mark it off the same day!

This looks fantastic…I think I like the presentation the best.
Oh, that is beautiful. My better half would love this, peaches are his favorite fruit. Thanks for sharing this! 🙂
this looks like a great recipe for summer… I have been looking for a good cobbler that’s not too heavy on calories and this might be it!
Wow that calorie count on that dessert isn’t too bad and it looks delicious!
Ok- so I LOVE cobblers, but have shied away from them in the past few years… every time I make them, the underside of the dough (the part next to the fruit) doesnt cook and stays battery. The middle and top are fine, but the underside is gross. How do you make sure yours cooks all the way through? Help. Would love to get back to cobbler making…
I adore making fruit cobblers & crisps all year round, but fresh peaches in the summer? There is nothing better–so juicy and delicious! I consider them a real treat.
I have to tell you, the photo with this post is particularly appealing and looks like it came from the pages of Gourmet magazine. Nice job Kristen, and thanks so much for the warm birthday wishes. I appreciate them!
Looks good, though I would have to make it more fattening. 🙂
That peach cobble looks really good!
Oh wow – that looks so delicious. I need to grab some fresh peaches soon and try this out. thanks for sharing!!
Bloomin’ heck, you are worse than me and I am well known for my love of making a list. There is nothing better than opening a lovely new notebook and starting a list, sad but true!
The cobbler sounds divine:)
