Recipe Box: Sweet Georgia Peach Southern Dump Cake – a homespun recipe

A few weeks ago, I had a game night scheduled with my dear girlfriends with whom I used to work at Barbra Streisand’s. I love these girls. I have soooo much fun with these girls. And they love me for everything I am – the bad, the good, the goofy. Heck, they even love my dog more than most people.

But I also knew that no matter how busy I was, I couldn’t show up empty-handed. That was just not an option. They would be expecting something buttery, sweet and delicious. So I knew I had to deliver. But what to bake on a Friday afternoon when you have less than 2 hours to prepare?

My answer? My Sweet Georgia Peach Southern Dump Cake – a fave of my girlfriends for years. Perfect for an impromptu dinner party, an easy dessert on a beach vacation or the perfect treat to whip up in a jiffy, this cake will tantalize the tastebuds and delight the pickiest of dessert-eaters.

My Sweet Georgia Peach Southern Dump Cake - serve with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and your guests will be in heaven

 

And it’s a homespun recipe which means it’s homemade but with some ready-made products you probably have in your pantry right this second!

So bake it up, have a taste and share with the ones you love!

Thirsty Thursday: BeautyFrosting’s Green “Beauty Cobbler” Smoothie

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm.

Are y’all in for a treat?

And a treat that’s healthy for you and beautifying, to boot?

Well, here’s a recipe that I make almost every day. And everyone who tries it LOVES IT!
Adults, kids, everyone.

BeautyFrosting's Green "Beauty Cobbler" Smoothie

I gained some extra pounds a few years ago and drinking this little beauty every morning helped me take off about 25 lbs!

I realized I just needed a breakfast that was fast, easy and, most importantly, DELICIOUS!
It totally gave me something to look forward to in the morning.

Now, I drink one every weekday. And my skin glows and the weight goes! It’s magic, I tell you. Or, um, just nutrition.

Love that. Try it for yourself and tell me what you think.

And, NO, you CANNOT taste the spinach. Spinach is the magical ingredient!

BeautyFrosting’s “Beauty Cobbler” Smoothie

1 c. Pineapple Juice

2 ice cubes (more if you like a thicker/icier smoothie)

7 frozen peach slices

7 apple slices (I buy the refrigerated & bagged produce kind)

1 c. Spinach (or more, if you like)

1 scoop Body Factory Protein Powder (it tastes like cake batter! Yum!)

1 tsp (or more if desired) Cinnamon

1 graham cracker or 1 tbsp. graham cracker crumbs (this gives it the “cobbler” taste)

Optional but recommended: 1 tsp flax seeds and 1 Tbsp. Thermogenic Oil

Blend pineapple juice and ice until smooth. Add peaches, apples and spinach.

 

Blend thoroughly.

Add protein powder, cinnamon, oil and flax seeds.

Blend until smooth.

Serve in a lovely glass with an apple wedge and a colorful straw.

That’s the BeautyFrosting way, at least.
