Peach Upside-Down Cake

Peach Upside-Down Cake

This was my Moms favorite, go to recipe. With so many fruit trees in her yard, there was an abundance of fresh fruit available all season long. The only difference between Moms peach cake and mine is that my philosophy on any dessert with fruit is: lots of fruit and less cake! I feel the fruit adds a delicious moistness and flavor to the dessert, and besides it’s healthy!

This is a really easy recipe to follow. Just check to see you have all the ingredients and follow the steps in order as you work your way down the page. Have fun and enjoy the “fruits” of your labor!

Broccoli is such a great, nutritious vegetable filled with vitamins C, K, some B’s and Manganese. Enjoying it in a warm, comforting soup is a delicious way to maximize the nutrition you feed your body. It is so easy to create from scratch and will last up to a week in your fridge.
