Can someone please explain to me why it is that I always manage to spill something horrible in my oven a day or two before we’re supposed to have guests over for dinner?
I can totally hear you thinking, “what’s the big deal? You have DAYS to clean it up.”
You guys. Have you met me? My memory is totally shot. I do not remember that there is a mess in my oven until the next time I start preheating it and the oven starts sending out smoke signals. It’s ridiculous. This usually results in a week or so of smoking the entire house out and then finally remembering to run the clean cycle about 10 minutes before I’m ready for bed. Of course, I can’t go to sleep while the oven is on, so I sit. And I wait. And I complain.
I’m a total complainer. That’s another thing you should know about me by now.
You know what though? Even if it does take me a week to remember to run the clean cycle on my oven, you should be proud. I once owned an oven for 10 years that didn’t have the self clean function and do you know how many times I cleaned that oven? That’s right. Zero times. Anyway, this Honey Cinnamon Peach Cobbler is a total favorite of mine. The sweet peaches, the honey, the cinnamon, it just works. Beautifully.
If fresh peaches aren’t available or just aren’t looking super fabulous where you are (they rarely look super fabulous here in Illinois), go ahead and use frozen. Just thaw them for an hour on the counter.
Of course, fruit cobblers like to bubble and what happens when things bubble? They spill right out of the pan and all over the bottom of the oven resulting in smoke signals and late nights.
LG has a new EasyClean oven and, you guys, I just can’t even handle it. A twenty minute clean cycle? Ugh. That’s so exactly what I need. No chemicals either, which makes mama happy. Spray the interior with a bit of water, press the EasyClean button, wait 20 minutes, and then wipe down the icky stuff that came off your oven! Pretty sure there are no excuses for not cleaning your oven if it only takes 20 minutes! (Heavy build-up may require additional manual effort or use of the full self-clean feature).

My favorite recipe is my pizza dough and marinara sauce
Pizza dough:
2 cups bread flour
1 envelope rapid rise yeast
1 cup very warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Cornmeal
Combine ingredients except cornmeal, with a dough hook for best results, and knead for 5 minutes. Let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Sprinkle pan with cornmeal and roll out dough. Cover with marinara sauce, cheese, and toppings (our faves include tomatoes, basil, peppers, pepperoni, sausage, or fresh cilantro) and bake at 400* for 20-25 minutes.
Marinara sauce:
Combine a large can of purรฉed tomatoes (or purรฉe about 10 peeled tomatoes)
Combine with the tomatoes a little sugar, black pepper, garlic salt, onion powder, basil, and oregano. Let simmer or about 5 minutes. Store in a mason jar in the refrigerator.

This looks absolutely delicious!
Silly as it seems, we like to bake our pizzas directly on the rack with no pan…so they leave our oven messy!

For years I searched for the perfect biscuit recipe. I studied different flours and decided King Arthur was the one. I tried butter vs lard and landed on lard. I tried sweet milk and buttermilk and went with buttermilk. I tired rolling out on the board and cutting vs hand forming. There were many burnt offerings to the Gods at the end of this experiment.
Then I tasted a biscuit that was better than mine. I asked the cook at the restaurant.He came back from the kitchen with a plastic bag that said …Pillsbury Frozen Southern Style….I have been released from the torture of looking for the perfect biscuit and now use only the Pillsbury frozen in the bag….hopefully in my new oven..
