Peach Upside Down Cake

Jun14

Every once in a while the Southern husband remembers a dish his mama used to make him, and he gets that look of fond memories in his brown eyes, which immediately makes me want to recreate whatever that was. In this case, he was remembering her peach upside down cake, full of juicy Georgia peaches and a creamy crunchy brown sugar topping, with a sweet buttermilk cake underneath. So I got me some peaches (and okay, they were New Jersey peaches) and sprang into action.

Ready for a sweet and simple peach dessert just like the Southern husband’s mama used to make? Let’s make it!

But as they say, better late then never…so let’s make it!

I am forever looking for new and creative ways to use up those last bananas that inevitably turn all kinds of ripe before we manage to eat our way through the bunch.

They are like the love child of banana bread and oatmeal raisin cookies, and they go from ripe banana to delicious cookies in no time. Ready to use up those extra bananas? Let’s make them!

There is nothing more comforting than a pot full of a warm and wonderful stew bubbling away on the stove, and I have a whole lot of beef and chicken stews on this site that I go back to time and again for just that reason.
