Raise your hand if you love peach cobbler. (me, jumping up & down raising hand!!) Peach cobbler is one of my favorite dessert recipes. This simple peach cobbler recipe uses canned peaches and is baked in a 10″ cast iron skillet. Quick enough to bake on a random weeknight yet special enough for company.
Quick Mix-N-Bake Cheddar Sour Cream Biscuits
By Texas Homesteader ~
I love to serve homemade biscuits for their no-rise, quick baking simplicity. Recently I decided to whip up these cheddar biscuits because most of the ‘fat’ requirement in a typical biscuit recipe is just comprised of sour cream in this recipe. It adds a tangy creaminess that we love.
RancherMan really loves biscuits. And I have a ROCKIN’ Homemade Buttermilk Biscuit recipe that he loves.
But these cheddar biscuits are pretty much mix-n-bake simple. So I’m much more likely to whip up this faster, easier biscuit recipe as a quick option for a random weekday meal.
But I’ve made them plenty of times when we had company too. They always receive rave reviews.
How To Make Self-Rising Flour In Less Than 1 Minute
by Texas Homesteader ~
Oh no! Your recipe calls for self-rising flour and all you have is all purpose flour. What will you do?
Must you stop mid-recipe and head to the store, plunk down money for MORE flour and then head back home before finally resuming your recipe?
Nope. You can make your own self-rising flour in a flash.
No, really – I mean it! Check out this helpful Homestead Hack.
Leftover Mashed Potatoes Into Potato Cakes
~by Texas Homesteader ~
Several weeks ago I found myself with an abundance of potatoes and realized there was no way RancherMan & I could eat them all before they went bad.
So I went into high-gear preservation mode & dehydrated many of them. And some of them went into the freezer.
But I’ve found RancherMan’s absolute FAVORITE way to eat leftover mashed potatoes – POTATO CAKES!

Supper Made Fast: Chicken Fried Rice
By Texas Homesteader ~
I’m a big fan of Planned Leftovers. That’s the method of cooking when some of the components of today’s meal were actually prepared for a completely different dish yesterday.
It’s a super-fast meal since some of the ingredients of tonight’s entrée have already been cooked.
For instance, I have leftover grilled fajita chicken and some plain long-grain rice in the fridge needing to be used.
So I’ll combine them deliciously to make a completely different meal tonight with an oriental flair. Chicken Fried Rice!
Taco Spaghetti – An Easy One-Pot Meal With A Mexican Flair
by Texas Homesteader ~
Everyone knows that spaghetti is a simple yet delicious meal. But, you know, sometimes you want something with a little more zing. A little something different. You know, just a little more excitement.
How about giving plain ole spaghetti a facelift? How about giving it a taco theme for a little Mexican flair?
It sounded good to me. So I decided to give a taco-styled spaghetti idea a try.
It’s a simple dish, and the kids will love it too. I mean – spaghetti AND tacos? What’s not to love??
So if you’re after the one-pot preparation simplicity of a spaghetti supper but want to try something different, this taco spaghetti is an easy, cheesy, delicious option for your family too.
