Food Network Scholar: easy Peach Cobbler

Television Feasts

I am a home cook who backyard gardens and has a serious closet addiction to the Food Network. I envision visiting the world in my own kitchen.

From Julia to Giada, I am a bi-product of the quirky world of anything food television. At age 10 I wanted to lunch with Julia; at 12 I thought sitting at Graham Kerr's table would be bliss; in college I was a diligent voyeur student of Jeff Smith's; and as a newlywed I envisioned myself being Martha. Then the sky opened up and violin music played in the background when I discovered an entire family of food shows on the blossoming food network. Twenty years later I am still a home chef with a backyard garden, yet in my head I am a trained chef who has eaten her way around the world, tasted all things exotic, competed in many challenges, judged the best of the best, and have a circle of friends which includes Emeril, Bobby, Rachael and more. I like to learn and challenge myself simply for the pleasure of all things food. I am a student of the University of Food Network and my textbooks, exams and extra-curricular activities all stem from channel 39.

easy Peach Cobbler

We are hosting a Father's Day dinner tomorrow for family (my husband's family; but, here's to you Pops, miss you bunches). I made desert for tomorrow tonight. We are going with a Southern BBQ theme. We fired up the smoker today and the pork has been cooking for hours. Because we had a lot to prepare for tomorrow it was a take-out pizza night (see I am normal, not always eating healthy!). However, I did satisfy my challenge by making tomorrow's desert today :) This is a Trisha Yearwood recipe (gettin' the southern theme?)
