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).

I so would make lasagna! I always make too many layers and it overflows onto my oven. But it’s so good!
Nissa Picard says
Love to make pecan pies, but they always bubble over.
Sue says
Seems like my lasagna always bubbles over.
Kelley Galyen says

thanks!

My cheesecakes are prone to rising and overflowing, making a charred mess on the oven floor.
Mike says
Coincidentally enough, the last time I made a peach cobbler it oozed out and I thought I was going to have to use a hammer and chisel to get it off. Now I use a sheet pan lined w/ foil under nearly everything I bake, wish I had patented that simple idea!
Katie K says
Whenever I make cherry pie, I manage to have it bubble over. Or salmon in packets, I somehow pierce the foil while in the oven.
Jennifer says
When i make Pies i always have to put a pan under it because it bubbles over!
Rebekah @ Making Miracles says
That is gorgeous!! Mmm…!! As for a favorite recipe that leaves my oven messy – probably lasagna… that is probably what’s still clinging to the bottom of mine as I type…
Alyssa Roberts (Lucy) says
When i make homemade Pot Pie i always have to put a pan under it to catch the overflow!
Shari says
I’ve let lasagna bubble over a time or two. Such a smelly burnt on mess!
Tamar says
When I make my pumpkin bread, even if I skimp on the ingredients, it always explodes or overflows in the oven! Stinky, stinky oven.
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel says
I can’t wait until peaches are in season here. This looks amazing! My fav messy recipe… apple pie (obviously) 😉
Kathy says
Pies always leave my oven messy.
