Planning & Peaches


Last Tuesday some of the MMU steering team met for prayer and planning. This group of young moms is eager to serve you this year. I am excited for the MOPS vision that Vanessa has shared with us! The MOPS program will start at Cornerstone on Thursday, October 11th. We already have some great speakers lined up & simple crafts for the moms to do. There will be tables with casual discussion and room for praying together and lots of laughter. Please consider bringing a friend. It is our prayer that this will be a real place of community as we plunge into relationship! We will post more MOPS details in a couple weeks...


The other thing we did at the meeting was devour Kimberlee's peach cobbler (shown alongside a cute cup of coffee). It was one of the best peach cobblers I've had! Kimberlee was happy to share her recipe with us. I plan to get out there and buy all the end-of-season peaches I can find to make this.


Easy Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:
8 large (or 12 small) peaches, pitted & sliced
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 1/2 lemons
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
1 (18.25 oz) package yellow cake mix
12 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 cup melted butter

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2) In a large bowl, combine peach slices, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir and allow peaches to sit a few minutes to macerate. Stir in cinnamon if using

3) In a separate bowl, with a fork or pastry cutter, cut the softened cream cheese into the cake mix until it is worked in well and clumps together

4) Butter or spray a 13'' x 9" casserole dish. Spread peaches into the dish. Cover with the cake mix & cream cheese. Drizzle melted butter over the top.

5) Bake in preheated oven 45-50 minutes, until golden brown. Serve with sweetened whipped cream, coffee, and friends
