It's back to reality after a blissful beach vay-cay. The hubs and I just got back from a week long stay at the beautiful Myrtle Beach. Boy did we need a little getaway, and I desperately needed some beach time! I love life in Atlanta, but I miss my sandy toes. This was the 4th year I've been able to join the VDS/Ward clan at Myrtle. However, this trip was extra special because I was finally able to stay a full week and it was our first time at the beach as a married couple. It. Was. Awesome.
We had 3 days of rain (boo) but managed to fill our inside-time with reading, Monopoly, and of course our new favorite game "things"...one word - hilarious. The rest of our days were filled with boogie boarding, kayaking, paddle boarding and boccie-balling. We even were able to get up close and personal with a few fishy friends (jellies, sharks, and dolphins, oh-my).
When we got back on Saturday, Nathan and I decided that we were officially on vacation until he had to go back to work on Monday. Even though the rain followed us home, we enjoyed our last few days of relaxation. Nathan even took me to see the Hunger Games since I finally was able to read all the books at the beach.
We ate LOTS of super good food at the beach, and vowed to get back to healthy eating on Monday. But since it was only Saturday night, we thought our last hurrah should be making a delicious and completely unhealthy dessert...Peach Cobbler. When people ask me what my favorite dessert is, I always answer "something warm with ice cream on top". That pretty much sums up my sweet cravings. This cobbler obviously falls into that category. The best thing about this dessert is how easy it is. If you don't already know, I usually only make simple recipes, and this one is very simple. You can even swap out the peaches for other fruit (apples, blueberries, etc). All you need is 2 cans of peaches, a box of cake mix, a stick of butter, and some brown sugar.
Forewarning - I am about the furthest from a professional photographer that you can get! Sorry!
First you empty your canned peaches (fruit of choice) into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Then pour the DRY cake mix on top of the peaches ( I stress dry because my sweet friend KK thought I meant to make the batter and then pour that on top).
Melt a stick of butter and mix in the brown sugar. Then pour the mixture on top of the cake mix. I usually spoon the butter mixture on top. You may have to make indentations in the cake mix with a spoon so that the butter will sink into it.
Bake at 350 for 35 minutes until it is somewhat set. Then top with ice cream :)
Enjoy...we sure did!
