Thoughts On Peach-A-Berry Cobbler:

This Peach-A-Berry Cobbler recipe is a great cobbler dessert! As mentioned in the recipe, the blueberries are optional. If you love peaches and blueberries, this cobbler will delight you. I've always enjoyed ice cream with my cobbler; vanilla is my favorite. I'm a coffee lover too, and a good cup of black coffee goes well for me. What do you think?

More Information For You:

To learn the history of cobbler you have to go back to the Colonial days in America. Many cobblers had normal on-hand ingredients. Cobblers were first meat and vegetable and then later evolved into a fruit dessert. Visit TastingTable to learn more about the rich history of cobbler.

Some Questions For You:

  • Do you like cobbler?
  • What is your favorite type of cobbler?
  • Have you made cobber before? Please share your experience with me.
  • Did you see my recipe from yesterday? It is called 7-Up Cake With Icing Recipe. Take a look!

My Thoughts For Today:

Help for our puppy.


My youngest daughter has a Beagle and we love her very much. She is such a good dog. We noticed she has not been acting well lately. She wants to go outside to go to the bathroom a lot. I thought she might have a bladder issue so I ordered some cranberry cleanse medicine for dogs. I hope this will help her. I ordered it last night and it should be delivered tomorrow. If you have any experience with this kidney cleanse product please let me know your experience. Keep our Bella in your thoughts.

Keep on cooking!

This Greek Cake dessert is great for impressing someone who has never tried it. It is not overly sweet and the glaze complements the cinnamon flavor and cloves. The walnuts add a very nice texture to the cake and are traditional in the recipe. This cake is a great fall-time but can be served any time of the year because it is so delicious.

My Thoughts For Today:

Let sleeping dogs lie.

This is my youngest daughter's dog. He is very small. He is also very sweet and spoiled. I am mostly to blame for him being so spoiled. He loves to lay on my lap and nap while I write. If you look up "lap dog" in the dictionary you will probably see this picture of him on my lap. You could say he is the "Poster Dog" for lap dogs. So when you read my posts there is a great chance this little dog is lying on my lap making it difficult for me to work. It's ok. I love that little dog.

I got to attend a birthday party today for a little relative. It was the 3rd birthday party for my great-nephew. He is a cool little guy and reminds me of his dad when he was that age. Kids and dogs grow too fast. I believe it is best to enjoy them when they are small and do our best to make them happy.

Keep on cooking!

Kahlua Cake Recipe - (Cakes)

Ingredients:

1 package (18.25 ounces) German chocolate cake mix
2/3 cup Kahlua liquor
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
3 eggs

Directions:

Combine the cake mix, Kahlua, oil, orange rind, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat for 2 minutes at the highest speed of the electric mixer.

Spread the filling between the layers and frost the cake.

Thoughts On Kahlua Cake:

Did anyone say cake? Cake is one of my favorite desserts and it is very difficult for me to pass a piece of cake by. Even if it is the store-bought birthday cake for someone in the work breakroom, I must get a piece.

German chocolate cake is a great cake and this recipe calls for Kahlua. The Kahlua has a dark chocolate flavor, and other flavors such as sweet butter, black coffee, roasted chestnut, and vanilla. Kahlua is a great-tasting liquor and adds a nice flavor to the German chocolate cake. The alcohol cooks out but you know that.

More Interesting Information:

Kahlua is one of the most popular and well-known liquors in the market today. Kahlua dates back to the 1930s and its birthplace is Mexico. One bottle takes several years to produce. There are many cooking and baking recipes that include Kahlua. You can learn more about Kahlua by visiting VINEPAIR's article called 10 Things You Should Know About Kahlua.

A Few Questions For You:

How many baked goods have you tried that have Kahlua in them? Have you tried a drink or a particular baked item? Have you tried Kahlua cake before? Please let me know your experience with this popular liquor. Did you see my last recipe? If you missed it, it is called Cracker Jack Cookies Recipe. Either one of these recipes is worth trying and sharing.

My Thoughts For Today:

Box turtle

Living in Southwest Missouri it is not uncommon to see box turtles. They come out in the spring to forage and mate. They eat vegetation to prepare for their winter hibernation. They get on the roads a lot and often times I have to dodge them while driving.

My oldest granddaughter has been asking her mom for a turtle. Today this turtle showed up in my yard. I believe it is a male box turtle. From what I understand, the males have bright colors and the females are mostly brown. I know my granddaughter will be very excited to receive her new pet. It will be a great educational opportunity to learn about box turtles, how to care for them, and experience letting the turtle go for the winter hibernation. I kept box turtles during the warm months when I was young and it was always fun.

Keep on cooking!
