If you're looking for a fun way to use up a few ripe, summer peaches and happen to enjoy having cake for breakfast, this peach cobbler coffee cake recipe is for you. Fresh peach slices are simmered on the stovetop with brown sugar and cinnamon to form a gooey peach cobbler-style filling that you'll layer into rich sour cream coffee cake batter. The cake is then capped with an iconic cinnamon-sugar pecan crumble topping before baking into a coffee cake that's too good not to share. And you'll have plenty to go around, as this decadently dense, moist 9x13-inch coffee cake is perfect for a crowd.

Aloo Gobi
Aloo gobi is an Indian dish made of spiced cauliflower and potatoes. This recipe is steamed and then fried in oil, making it intentionally dry and somewhat crispy. Warning: This dish is extremely spicy, which is the way I like it. However, if you don't want your food that spicy, feel free to cut down on the serrano pepper, cayenne pepper, or both. Also, I recommend serving this with a side of raita or plain yogurt to cool the mouth down after eating.
