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).

Jana H. says
Always, always, ALWAYS have apple pie spills in my oven. I constantly say that I am going to remember to buy an oven liner, but I never remember!
Sherri R. says
Baked Ziti is so messy in my oven but, so delicious!
Jocelyn (Grandbaby Cakes) says
Now this is a stunning peach cobbler. That is my absolute favorite dessert ever.
Elyse says
Usually anything that requires a pie plate…chicken pot pie, apple pie, any berry pie.
Jen N. says
I tend to drop pieces of cheese from pizza or a french fry will try to jump off of my baking sheet from time to time.

Cobblers always leave my oven messy.
Robin M says
This peach cobbler looks so good! My biggest problem is my meatloaf. It seems to have a mind of its own and goes ALL OVER the place. My oven does not have any cleaning capibilities except my elbow grease.
Juliann says
Wha! Best. Oven. Ever. So, I’m the same way, sometimes it’s a cake that I’ve overfilled, but most of the time it’s that I literally drop a pizza in the oven, or my dog is behind me at the exact moment the fish sticks are coming out. Seriously, it happens to me so often I have sausage shaped burn marks in the bottom of my oven!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
Ugh – apple pie. Spills every darn time!
Lisa says
I have to pick one dish that leaves my oven a holy crap on a cracker mess? Impossible! But, the last one that did was my family’s favorite Apple Crisp. I totally forgot to put a pan under it and I’m sorry to say I still haven’t cleaned it up (it’s been weeks). I believe my oven is waiting for this peach cobbler too. Yum!

The thing I love to cook that leaves my oven a mess has to be crunchy pork knuckles with beer braise apples and potatoes. The oil mess is unbelievable but worth it every time
