Easy Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler

We recently celebrated Ryan’s birthday on the road, and I always love to bake him something delicious and sinful for his big day.  This year I thought I’d try out a recipe that I found in the cookbook that I got with my Lodge cast iron dutch oven for easy Peach Cobbler.  It was painfully easy, but there are a few modifications that I’d suggest to make it even tastier, and I goofed a bit and didn’t follow it exactly anyways (oops!).  I normally prefer to bake things from scratch but it’s great to have an easy go-to recipe that you can use with some pre-made ingredients.  Plus, calories don’t count on your birthday!

THE PURSUIT OF DELISH | SOURDOUGH CAMP BREAD

Sourdough Camp Bread Recipe

I am not a baker per se.  I don’t have the fancy scales, cake pans and pie tins that are hallmarks of a serious baker.  I dabble in baking and usually it turns out pretty tasty … although I have never quite figured out how to make my flourless cake not crumble the instant I try to serve it on a plate.  Regardless, I’d like to think that I’m a decent baker because I am a rule follower.  To the T.  So I can follow a recipe like it’s nobody’s business.  When we finalized our plans for this trip, I decided that I wanted to learn how to make bread so that I can make some bread for us from time to time on the road.

The Pursuit of Delish: Bundt Cake

DSC_0428

I’ve never made a bundt cake before, but I’ve had the pan for years.  I love the shape of a bundt cake, and I love that the cake comes out looking the exact same way every time.  So when I needed to bring something over to a friend’s dinner party I thought I’d finally try it out.  Most bundt cake recipes call for buttermilk or milk, neither of which I had at home, so I searched around for a recipe that used Greek yogurt – a favorite of mine and staple in my fridge.  I found a recipe here and spiced it up with some blueberries that I had in the fridge and wanted to use.

The Pursuit of Delish: Cheesemaking

I love cheese.  If you have met me for 5 minutes, you probably know this about me.  It is my favorite food by far.  Which is sad for the waistline, but hey, we all have our demons.  I run so I can eat cheese.  Another thing you may not know about me (but probably do) is that I like to do things myself – to figure things out.  So when I love a food, I want to learn to make it and then make it my own.  I love macarons with a passion usually reserved for fluffy puppies and squishy babies. And so I learned to make them (recipe to come in a future post!).

And so. I love cheese and decided I would learn how to make it.  And then I talked about it for months and months and never made the time to learn, because that’s pretty standard for my jam-packed, overly scheduled life; a problem that I am working on.  Thankfully I have the most thoughtful husband who listens to my rants about the things I love and the dreams I have and so for our anniversary last year he surprised me with a cheesemaking class!  Making my dreams come true one day at a time, that man. We went to a cooking class at Cavallo Point, a historic hotel tucked just under the Golden Gate Bridge north of San Francisco in Marin, which has the most breathtaking views of the city, is in restored historic buildings of Fort Baker, an old Army post, and also happens to have amazing cooking classes – who knew?!
