Easiest Peach Cobbler (and probably the favorite)

Easiest Peach Cobbler

3 15-oz cans peaches
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 cup brown sugar (divided: 1/4 c; 1/4 c; 1/2 c)
1 15.25-oz box yellow cake mix
1 stick butter, melted (8 Tablespoons)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Drain the peaches and pour them into a 9x13 baking dish.

Drizzle vanilla over the peaches.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar evenly over the top.

Combine cake mix, melted butter, and 1/4 cup brown sugar until there is no powdered cake mix remaining and the mixture resembles a clumpy, dry batter.

Crumble the batter mixture evenly over the peaches.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar over the batter. 

Bake for 45-50 minutes until browned and bubbly.  Let cool for 15 minutes, then enjoy warm!

Jeff's Kabob Marinade

Kabob Marinade for 1 1/2 lbs Costco New York Strip* cut into generous bite size cubes


1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp onion powder
2 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp oil (Jeff prefers olive oil)
1/4 tsp black pepper

Broil 2-4 minutes or to desired doneness.


If you are going to put them on skewers, don't forget to soak them in water for 30 minutes.


Alternatives: rump, beef tri-tip, sirloin steak, or other steak cut

Avoid: flank, skirt, hanger, bavette and other steaks that need to be sliced thinly against the grain.

Also avoid: slow cooking cuts -- chuck, beef ribs, cheeks

Based on this recipe.

Shaken Roasted Potatoes

To make Shaken Roasted Potatoes:
Ingredients
  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • Kosher salt (2 Tbsp for boiling, plus extra for seasoning)
  • 3 Tbsp bacon grease (warmed to liquid--or olive oil)
  1. Parboil: Cut Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch to 1.5-inch chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with salted water (add the 2 Tbsp of kosher salt), and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes until the surfaces are tender, but the centers are still firm.
  1. Shake: Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander. Return the hot potatoes to the saucepan. Put on low heat just long enough to cook off the excess water (a minute or two). Put the lid on tightly, and shake the pot vigorously for 5–10 seconds. This will rough up and bruise the edges of the potatoes.
  2. Season: Transfer the shaken potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet (lined with foil for easy clean-up). Toss with 3 tablespoons of bacon grease (warmed to liquid--or olive oil) and a generous helping of kosher salt. (You can do steps 1 and 2 earlier in the day, then step 3 just before serving.)
  3. Roast: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Roast the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing them occasionally so they get evenly golden and deeply crispy on all sides.
