Peaches and muffins are two of my favorite things, and an oven that won’t heat up my kitchen would be at the top of the list, too! Thanks so much for joining the Pinteret Game this week! Good luck and we hope to see you back next week!
I love fresh peaches in the summertime. I buy a lot and then slice and freeze them so that I can make fresh cobblers, pies, and muffins in the winter. Delicious. Cooking outside using solar saves on electricity costs and just keeps the house comfortable. I love my solar cookers. Thanks for stopping by Wendy. I’m glad I found your Pinterest game.
Yum! Now I am super hungry for peach muffins. They sound delicious Merry, and I am super intrigued by the solar oven idea. Are they expensive? What are good brands? By the way, I think you should enter this post into the Pinterest Game I am co-hosting https://www.cookwithashoe.com/general/pinterest-game-5a/, I think you would have a good chance of winning.
Thanks Charissa, Solar ovens are great because they can cook almost everything. Since you are cooking outside, you don’t heat up your kitchen which makes your A/C works overtime. Who needs higher electric bills? Solar ovens cost about as much as a good kitchen appliance. Depending on which one you get, they will run between about $250 – $350. Thanks for stopping by.
How delicious! I’m absolutely loving having peaches so readily available right now. What a great recipe!
