sara's fresh peach cobbler

this is a recipe my sister sara got from our mom, but my mom has no recollection of this, so i'm calling it sara's. it's so good. i woke up saturday morning thinking about it and had to have it. so let's get started. you'll need 5-6 fresh peaches, 2/3 cup sugar, a tablespoon of cornstarch, 1/4 cup of water, a white cake mix, and a stick of butter.

peel your peaches.
then slice across the middle, all the way around the peach.
grab both ends and twist, then remove the stone.
slice the peaches, and peel the red stuff out of the middle.
then add 2/3 cup sugar, 1 tbsp. cornstarch, and 1/4 cup of water.
cook and stir until the mixture is thick and bubbly.
now pour your cake mix into a separate bowl and add your stick of (melted) butter.
then cut the butter into the cake mix with a knife. don't mix, just cut while you spin the bowl until the butter is mixed and the mixture is crumbly.

like so!
now pour your peaches into a square pan,
and add the cake mix on top. spread it around, then toss it into the oven at 400* for 20-25 minutes or until the cake mix is browned.
like this. mmmmboy.
normally i would serve this with vanilla ice cream but i forgot to buy it, so this is fresh whipped cream (which was delicious, by the way).
enjoy!

strawberry heaven

i don't know if my mom made this up or found the recipe somewhere, but it's really good and REALLY easy. all you need is a small box of strawberry jell-o, a small box of instant vanilla pudding, some strawberries, and a small thing of cool whip. oh, and a graham cracker pie crust. or two. this recipe actually makes two pies, i forgot.


start by washing and slicing your strawberries.
put your package of jell-o in a bowl and dissolve with 3/4 cup of boiling water. stir for 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. then add 3/4 cup cold water and put in the fridge.

put your pudding in a bowl
and make according to package directions, only mix with just 1 1/2 (one and a half)) cups of milk.
whisk it really good, so it's not lumpy!
mmmm. there.
now mix your cool whip into your pudding until completely blended.
next, pour in your jell-o. this gets splashy, so wear an apron.
and mix.
pour your strawberries into your mixture, or else layer them in the bottom of your pie crust beforehand to make a more even placement of strawberries.
and mix gently.
this is really yummy. go ahead and take a taste.
now pour your mixture into your pie crust,
until it reaches the edges.
cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. once it's set you can decorate with additional cool whip and strawberries, or else just slice it and go for it people. it's good.

1 small pkg. strawberry jell-o
1 small pkg. instant vanilla pudding
1 small tub of cool whip
1 pkg. strawberries, cut into slices
2 graham cracker crusts

wash and slice strawberries. mix the jell-o with 3/4 cup of boiling water. once dissolved, pour in 3/4 cup cold water and refrigerate. make pudding according to package directions but only add 1 1/2 cups milk instead of 2. add in your cool whip and mix well with a hand mixer. add your jell-o next, mixing until completely combined. layer strawberries in the bottom of your crust or add directly to your jell-o mixture, then pour into crust. refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. slice; devour.
