Peach Cobbler Bread

Our Lake neighbor Barb is such a great cook. I would dub her "Queen Of Comfort Food". I have encouraged her to blog as she loves to cook. Friday night after our neighborhood pot-luck dinner, Barb gifted each of us with a neatly wrapped loaf of the Peach Cobbler Bread. We toasted our bread and enjoyed it at breakfast the next following days. Try this recipe and you will agree, it is a treat! Thanks Barb for sharing the recipe!
