Peach Cobbler

Welcome back! 
Today, we have a Southern favorite: Peach Cobbler! In fact, peach cobbler is so loved, it's become Texas's official state cobbler, and you can find it at any real barbecue place in the South. Cobblers are an easy way to bake your summer fruits into a warm, delicious dish, whether it be apples, berries, or of course, peaches. You basically throw all your ingredients together and toss it in the oven (a couple of times) and that's your cobbler!

Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:

For the filling:
  • 4 large peaches (about 2 pounds), cut into small chunks
  • Juice from half of a lemon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
For the topping:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
Optionally, you can add some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, either to the filling or the topping.

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, mix the peaches with the lemon juice, brown sugar, salt, and corn starch.
  2. Put the peaches into your baking dish and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.

  3. In another bowl, sift in the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix these ingredients together.
  4. Add in the small pieces of cold butter and with a pastry blender, mix it into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
  5. Mix the yogurt with the milk. Add this mixture into the bowl and mix until the dough is no longer floury, but still remains in clumps.

  6. Once the peaches are done cooking, place the chunks of the topping on top of the dish. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top.

  7. Bake the entire dish at 350°F for 40 minutes.
This peach cobbler is great because it has everything that you want in a dessert: the gooey, juicy peaches pair exquisitely with the crisp, fluffy topping. Despite being made of two very distinct parts, the juices from the peach seep into the dough above and create a strong cohesive bond that completes the cobbler. And don't let your enjoyment of cobblers stop with just peaches, treat yourself to cobblers made with other seasonal fruit that you find!

Filipino Chicken Adobo

Welcome back!  Today, we have a traditional Filipino dish: Chicken Adobo! Adobo is a very classic Filipino flavor involving vinegar, peppercorns, and bay leaves. It's used for many different types of meat; pork is another very common choice. The dish should not be confused with a Spanish variety of adobo, which has a similar concept but different ingredients - there's a heavier emphasis on spices like paprika and oregano. Filipino Chicken Adobo Ingredients: 2 pounds chicken drumsticks 1/2 cup rice vinegar 1/3 cup soy sauce 6 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns 3 bay leaves 2 tablespoon sugar Directions: Prepare the marinade by adding in all the ingredients except for the chicken. Mix this together. Put the chicken in and let it marinade for a few hours, preferably overnight so the flavor really soaks in. Take the chicken out. Keep the marinade! In an oiled pan, sear the chicken for 2 minutes on each side (imagine that the drumsticks have two sides). Remov...
