Football! (Recipes!)

Fall in the air means football, sweaters, warm cozy socks & soup in the crockpot!  Last night was the first "fall feeling" day.  So needless to say we had black bean soup, homemade french bread & peach cobbler.  The house smelled amazing! I am sharing these recipes with you so your house can smell just as amazing!  

Black Bean Soup

2 cans black beans

1 can diced tomatoes

1 onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 1/2 c. chicken stock

3 tsp. cumin

1 Package of turkey Kielbasa

2 tsp minced garlic

Salt & pepper to taste

Saute onions, red pepper, garlic & kielbasa.  Add 1 can of black beans to crockpot and smash with potato smasher.  Add 2nd can of beans, can of tomatoes, chicken stock, cumin, salt & pepper.  Mix.  Add sauted veggies & kielbasa.  Cook on low 6 hours.  

The french bread recipe I found on Food.com.  They are always my go-to place when I'm looking for a new recipe.  Normally I don't follow them exactly but thankfully this time I did!  YUM!!!

And finally here's the peach cobbler!

Peach Cobbler

1 1/2 quarts peaches (I use peaches I canned)

1/2 c. butter

2 c. sugar

1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 c. flour

1 1/2 c. milk

Preheat oven to 350.  Melt butter in the oven in a 13x9 baking dish.  Heat peaches, 1 c. sugar & water to a boil.  Mix cornstarch with small bit of water and then slowly add to the peaches (this will thicken the mix). Simmer 10 minutes then add the cinnamon & nutmeg.  In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder, remaining cup of sugar, vanilla & milk.  Mix well.  Pour flour mix over the melted butter.  Do not stir.  Spook peaches over the top & gently pour syrup.  Cook for 30-45 minutes.

And this is what I did with the left over peaches that wouldn't fit into the peach cobbler.  (Because I used the wrong size pan.)  :)  

Happy eats!
