I’ve never been to Tennessee in my life, and now I’ve been there twice in three months! My sister Cassie and I decided on Nashville for our second annual Sister Vacation (Chicago was the first) and it did not disappoint. I didn’t go with too

Memphis, Tennessee

Before I’d moved to Louisiana, the furthest south I’d ever been was Washington, D.C. Does that count!? Is D.C. even considered to be in the South?? Now that we’re down here, we plan on making the most of our time in a new area and 

Loaded Breakfast Muffins

Loaded Breakfast Muffins

By now I think you should all know I have a thing for muffins: banana, peach, strawberry, zucchini…Kelly even made chocolate chunk so it’s safe to say she’s on the muffin train too.

Loaded Breakfast Muffins | longdistancebaking.com

I love muffins because they are so quick and easy, with hardly any prep or clean up. Plus, you can switch up flavors and mix-in’s making them extremely versatile. Another win!

I wanted a “healthier” muffin, one without chocolate this time. (gasp!) I started with my basic banana muffins, then added some shredded zucchini and carrots. Veggies for breakfast anyone?

Next I threw in some flax seeds and chia seeds…because why not? They’re both full of health benefits and help you stay full longer, which is always a plus at breakfast. Not to mention you can’t taste them AT.ALL. Just trust me on this one. Put them in.

Add some raisins and fall spices…and there you go! Loaded breakfast muffins. Is there anything else I could possibly add?! I thought about walnuts, but didn’t want to go overboard. But if you’re into that kind of thing, by all means, keep adding ingredients!

I love making a batch of muffins Sunday night to eat throughout the week for a quick breakfast or morning snack. I hope you give these a try!

Simply Living Guest Post~ Sweet Tea and Cobbler

Simply Living Guest Post~ Sweet Tea and Cobbler

We are so excited to have the lovely girls from the Simply Living blog guest posting for us today! Just like us, they are two friends living apart who share one blog. If you have not checked out their blog, seriously go do that NOW! Then come back and see what they’ve made for us today. I’m drooling over the pictures and wishing so badly that I had a glass of sweet tea and a big helping of cobbler right now! Thank you, Suruchi and Hannah, for this lovely post today! 
First off, we are so excited and thankful that Kelly and Stephanie asked us to guest post on their blog today! We are still pretty new to this whole blogging thing but have been so amazed by how welcoming and friendly all of the bloggers we have gotten to know in this community have been. Fortunately for us, Kelly and Stephanie were our first blogging friends and we are so thankful for their constant kind words and support! We love both of them and their blog so we are so ecstatic to share their space today!

It was a lot of fun for us to come up with recipe ideas for our post here and being from the South, we decided to look to a southern staple for inspiration: peaches. We only found it fitting to share two of our favorite peach recipes, which are perfect and just peachy keen (hehe) for the upcoming summer months. Peach cobbler is an essential Southern dessert which can be found at block parties, family reunions, county fairs, and of course Granny’s kitchen counter. (We’re really trying to play up the Southern angle here haha!) Our second peach dish is a peach sweet tea. Sweet tea is the quintessential drink of choice during the year, but especially in the hot summer months here in Texas.

Southern food is all about bringing together friends and family, and we, just like Kelly and Stephanie, live apart for most of the year. Because we aren’t always together, cooking dishes that hit close to home is a great way for us to have fun, catch up on life, and more importantly, satisfy our never ending hunger for desserts and drinks. When we’re both back at home from school, it’s one of our favorite things to gather at one of our homes and bake delicious treats, even if sometimes those cooking adventures end up in a baking fail! (Refer to photo below for Suruchi’s first attempt at peeling and slicing a peach. Don’t even ask how that happened.)

Food brings people together and it’s always a fun way to try new things. We hope you enjoy these recipes and try a little taste of Texas!

Peach & Vanilla Sweet Tea

4 cups of water
2 bags of Lipton Ice Tea or your favorite iced tea blend
1/2 cup of peach preserves (homemade or store bought)
1/2 tablespoon of vanilla
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Sugar to taste (a few tablespoons should do but the more sugar the better in our opinion)

*In order to get a real sweet tea, you have to mix in the sugar while the tea is still warm so the sugar dissolves properly

*If you are looking to get a real taste of the South, add some Bourbon to your liking and enjoy!

Directions: Boil the 4 cups of water for the tea, allow the tea bags to brew for three to five minutes depending on how strong you want your tea to be. Add some scoops of sugar to your liking while the tea is still hot and stir until dissolved.

In a small mixing bowl, stir the peach preserves, vanilla, and lemon juice. If the mixture is too thick, add water to thin it out. Add the mixture to the tea and stir until combined. Fill a pitcher with ice and pour the tea into your favorite glass for the perfect thirst quenching drink!

Peach & Blueberry Cobbler

5 pounds of peaches, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
Salt
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, divided
Cooking spray
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3/4 cup of buttermilk
2 cups of fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 tbsp of cinnamon

Directions: Preheat oven to 375°. Peel and slice peaches and place in a large baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Drizzle the 2 tbsps of lemon juice over the peaches. Add 2 tablespoons of flour, 1/8 tsp of salt, and 3/4 cup of sugar, to the peaches and mix together.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, and baking powder.

In another bowl, add the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and butter. Beat the sugar and butter together with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to butter/egg mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, beating until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Pour the batter over the peaches and sprinkle the brown sugar over the batter. Place the baking dish on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 375° for 1 hour or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly on the sides.

Eat warm and enjoy! You can serve the cobbler on its own or add a scoop of ice cream on top.
