These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).

Blueberry-Peach Cobbler

It used to be that when we lived in Alaska, I was always looking for ways to use all the blueberries I'd pick every fall, but now that we live in Florida, maybe I'll be seeking out peach recipes...either way, this recipe is fantastic! :)

Use peaches that aren't superripe for this recipe so they'll hold their shape when cooked. The baking dish will be brimming with fruit and topping, so it's a good idea to place it on a foil-lined baking sheet before putting it in the oven.
Yield: 12 servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup)
Ingredients
* 5 pounds peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
* 3/8 teaspoon salt, divided
* 6.75 ounces (about 1 1/2 cups) plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
* Cooking spray
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 3/4 cup buttermilk
* 2 cups fresh blueberries
* 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Place peaches in a large bowl. Drizzle with juice; toss. Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons flour to peach mixture; toss to combine. Arrange peach mixture evenly in a 13 x 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray.
3. Weigh or lightly spoon 6.75 ounces flour (about 1 1/2 cups) into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 6.75 ounces flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and baking powder in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Place the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and butter in a medium bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in blueberries.
4. Spread batter evenly over peach mixture; sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Place baking dish on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until topping is golden and filling is bubbly.
