Crock Pot Peach Cobbler

When the Mr. and I first started dating he told me he loved cobbler.  I ended up finding this recipe after my first attempt to make him one (for his birthday).  And then lost it promptly.  I found it today looking for something completely unrelated.  I am excited to give it a try and will post any tweaks to the recipe.  

Ingredients
2 pounds fresh or canned peaches
2/3 cup oats (Does not specify, I am going to assume not instant)
2/3 cup AP flour
2/3 cup light brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3/4 cup softened unsalted butter

Directions
Place the peaches in the stoneware.  Combine oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and pour over peaches.  Add the butter and stir until crumbly.  Cook on low for 3 hours.  
And of course, serve with vanilla ice cream!!  :)

Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken

I can make no claim to this recipe, but someone at McCormick did a damn good job and I <3 them for it.  And sadly I went in really hoping I would not be left with junky bbq on the 4th of July.  It was stupid easy.  Really.  You could have a 10 year old make this.  :)  And it was beyond amazing.  I have grown up on thicker bbq sauces so I thew several tablespoons of cornstarch in.  Voila!  I did mine on kaiser rolls with sliced cheddar cheese.  And some grilled corn on the cob (roll the uncooked [washed] corn in olive oil and fresh ground sea salt.  Mmmmm.).  Makes a great easy meal.
