Hi everyone! I am Sachiko from Tea Rose Home. First of all I would love to say thank you to Tara from The Dating Divas who organized this fun blog swap, and to Michelle for having me here today!

In my blog, I share my sewing/craft ideas and tutorials, some recipes and a little bit about my life.

One of the things I love to do is clothes repurposing. My projects are fairly inexpensive. A lot of the times I use items that I already have or a great store find and change them into something better and prettier.

Some people say that my style is feminine. I am guessing it’s because of the ruffle shirts and some other clothes repurposing projects that I have done, but I love all sorts of different styles.

Well, today I am going to share a “Super Easy Peach Cobbler” recipe. You might be thinking “What has that got to do with spicing up a marriage or being romantic with our man?”

Hold your horses; I am getting to that part…

The way to win a man’s heart is through his stomach… I use to think “Oh, come on, it is whole a lot more complicated than that!” But, now that I have been married for a little over 16 years, the saying is not too far off. We all love good food, especially comfort food… it makes us feel… comforted. 🙂 There is so much going on once we step outside. My husband, he goes to work every day to put a roof over our heads and to put food on the table and much more. I know he has good days and not so good days, on days like that I want him to know that our home is a safe haven where he can relax and rest.

It is fun to go out on a date, but my husband and I are so busy with our family life and everything it is hard to coordinate the actual outing. Meanwhile we have many “mini dates”. One of the things we love to do is rent a movie, cuddle up on the couch with a good tasty dessert like this peach cobbler. You can whip up this cobbler in a wink. 🙂

Easy Peach Cobbler (makes 6 servings)

You will need;

1 16oz can of sliced peaches un-drained 1 cup flour 1 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup Milk 2 tsp baking Powder 1/8 tsp salt 1 stick butter

1. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, cook peaches until boiling.

2. In a medium bowl mix flour, 1 C sugar, milk, baking powder and salt.

3. In a 2 quart casserole dish, melt butter.

4. Pour batter over butter.

5. Add peaches, do not stir.

6. Sprinkle remaining sugar over entire casserole.

7. Bake at 400°F for 20-30 min.

8. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream or both…

I tried this recipe with fresh peaches once and it was even better. (It was more work, but if you want to try it, I highly recommend it.)

Now, it is time to snuggle up on the couch with your loved one and enjoy the show!
