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).

Pizza

cinnamon buns definitely

My oven does NOT have a clean cycle so when I spill something…I just have to go through some serious smoke for about a week of turning it on. Really I should just leave it on 500 for a few hours and that should do the trick. But instead I just set our fire alarm off for a week. Obviously.
Honey cinnamon always calls to me. Especially when peaches are involved!

chicken pot pies, twitted this today, 05/06

Really anything CAN leave my oven messy. Most often the culprit is deep-dish pizza. By far the WORST mess I’ve ever had to clean out of my oven, though, was the one time I allowed my father to use my oven to make pecan pie. Never again.

It never fails with Lasagna
Serena Powell says
My oven always gets messy when I make homemade pizza. Somehow, the sauce or cheese will ooze off of the pan and get all over the bottom of the oven.

Homemade caramel corn! You have to toss it around every 15 minutes or so and I always end up tossing some all around the oven
Oh well – it’s worth it!
Angie says
My homemade chocolate cake – the last time I made it, I overfilled the pan :-/
Love your blog!

Lasagna always makes a mess. I try to bake it on a cookie sheet wrapped it foil, but at least half of the time, I forget!
Denise Wilson says
I just made chicken enchilada pizza and it was so full of topping it bubbled over!

Once I melted plastic tupperware containers in my oven by accident. Opps. What a mess! I wonder if the LG oven would self clean that! 🙂 I had to let my oven cool and then heat the plastic with a hair dryer and scrape it out with a paint scraper. Then I had to vacuum out all the little plastic bits so they didn’t remelt in my oven. It was such a pain and took me hours!! Now I check before I turn my oven on….
Btw, I love your peach cobbler recipe and am counting the days til it is pick your own peach time here! Peach cobbler is one of my fave summer desserts!
Sherri @The Well Floured Kitchen says
Chicken pot pie, I always overfill the pan!
Jenn says
Lasagna, every single time. Cheese and sauce everywhere!
