Blackberry Cobbler

Blackberry Cobbler

Blackberry cobblers are hard to beat when topped with vanilla ice cream (sure do miss Blue Belle Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream!) In the last few weeks, I have been making blackberry cobblers, some for us, but most have been given away or my husband has taken them to work. I am using the berries that we put in the freezer from last season. Once thawed and baked in the cobbler, I cannot tell a difference between the frozen berries and the berries picked fresh from the bushes. I have several friends on my list that will be getting a cobbler very soon! Here is the recipe, the one that my grandmother used with a lattice top that is easy to make!

Rice Pudding – Old Fashioned Recipe Like My Mama Made

Rice Pudding. It is one of those sweet Southern classic comfort foods most of us have eaten many times if you grew up anywhere south of the Mason Dixon line or call yourself a Southerner. It was at the top of our family’s favorite dessert list along with Banana Pudding and Blackberry Cobbler! Today, when I think of the Rice Pudding baking in my grandmother’s kitchen stove, it brings back a warm and safe feeling of home and childhood days.
