A $5.00 Meal!


The Peach and Blueberry Cobbler (recipe at the bottom)

Purple Hull Peas

Soon to be stewed taters and fried okra

Luke brought me home flowers! I love them!!!

My PaPa used to say that some meals were considered a $5.00 meal. Now that doesn't necessarily mean it actually cost 5 bucks, but that it was a great meal! I considered our meal tonight to be a 5 dollar meal! We are having a Rotisserie Chicken I picked up at Kroger, Fried Okra, Stewed Potatoes, and Purple Hull Peas. For dessert I made a new recipe- a Peach & Blueberry Cobbler. It looks really good! I have been doing a Beth Moore study at church and am loving it this week.....literally. Our topic this week has been Love or Agape. I have learned that love isn't a feeling necessarily but actions. So this meal and dessert especially are to thank Luke for all his hard work today on his "Honey-Do" list. Love ya babe!



Super-Easy Peach and Blueberry Cobbler
4 1/2 c. Frozen Sliced Peaches (I used the fresh ones I froze a while back...thanks Amy!!!)
2 c. blueberries
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. sugar, or to taste
1 T. plus 1 t. of cornstarch
1 T. fresh lemon juice
1 (7.5 oz can) biscuits
Milk for brushing the tops of the biscuits
Sugar for sprinkling the biscuits

Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat to 450 degrees. In a saucepan, combine the peaches, blueberries, water, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Top with biscuits and brush those with milk. Sprinkle biscuits with sugar (I added a little cinnamon to the top). Bake until biscuits are brown and it's bubbling.
