"Healthified" Peach Cobbler


"Healthified" Peach Cobbler

I plan on trying this recipe this week . 
"Healthified" Peach Cobbler
Recipe Tip
What is "Healthified"?
We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.
Substitution
If fresh peaches are available, use 4 cups sliced peeled peaches instead of the canned peaches. Or, you can use a 16-oz bag of frozen sliced peaches, thawed.
Did You Know?
The lemon juice used in this recipe adds a little sparkle that perks up the peach flavor.

Paradise exotic beaches A very Frugal vacation 
This is a video of  beautiful vacation spots. I like to exercise to it and just pretend I'm on these beautiful exotic beaches. It can also make doing housework more fun. Imagine your hands are swimming in the warm crystal aqua blue water
while you wash dishes. (yes I know I'm a goof with an over active imagination) Hey if it makes house work more fun I'll try it.
