2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour

This looks so good! I've wanted to make peach cobbler for awhile now, but never seem to put it on our meal plan! Plus, I don't know if I should buy peaches from the grocery store since it's one of the worst fruits to buy. Seeing that picture makes me not care, though! It looks so tasty and easy to make! And your bananna bread looks good too!
Hope you check out my giveaway! 🙂

Yum! If I wasn't trying to lose the last of these baby pounds I'd be making that cobbler tonight. These days I'm just impressed if I can manage to get dinner on the table! Glad your back from your blog break but I'm sure it was nice! I went private for a bit after my daughter was born and it was so nice to just disappear for a bit and focus on family.
Oh my!
