Inspiration Post

Ms. Longing-for-Texas posted about her recent easy and delish recipe , so I thought I'd share the quick-bake mock cobbler (mockler? mobbler?) that I wooed Buzzkill with last night. Keep in mind I substitute Splenda for sugar since I'm diabetic.

2 1/2 cups berries (we used Blackberry)
1 cup sugar divided
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup melted butter.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine berries with half of the sugar. Kinda smush it together so it's juicy enough to dissolve the sugar but still has clumps of berry.

In another bowl, combine the other half of the sugar, milk, and flour. Mix in melted butter.

In a greased 8 inch pan, pour the batter. Spoon the berry mix as evenly as possible on top of the batter.

Bake for 40-60 minutes (depending on how hot your oven can get, 350 is REALLY hot in mine). Just check on it after 40 minutes to see if the crust on top is golden - then it's done.

I served it with whipped cream, but vanilla ice cream is good to. Or if you don't like topping, have a big glass of cold milk. Or soy milk or whatever.

New Car Seat!

Punkinhead's Papaw & Gigi (HotMommy's parents) have generously offered to buy the needed new carseat for Punkinhead's birthday as we near the 12 month, 20 lbs limit on her current car seat. This will be her forward facing debut and HotMommy loves the pattern on it. And the pattern name is the same name that's on Punkinhead's birth certificate! How perfect is that? We were going to get the "Cowmooflage," but decided that anything with black on it would get too hot in Texas summer (thanks Kel).
