PW Project: Raspberry Cobbler

This afternoon while I was waiting for Comcast to show up, I found some raspberries in thr fridge that I bought a little while back.  I decided to whip up this super easy to make cobbler (available in the book and on the web).

The original recipe is for Blackberry Cobbler, but you can use another berry, like blueberries or raspberries, if you want.

It’s definitely not what I would consider to be a traditional cobbler, like the kind with the crumble top, but it’s so simple to make that you can put it together without much prep work.  It takes about 1 hour to bake; waiting for it to be done is the hardest part! 

I used my phone to take a picture of the finished cobbler. 

Not a bad photo but a little dark.

Take Your Salad from Drab to Fab

One of the yummiest and easiest things to make is salad. I love to put together a big salad for a lunch or a dinner; it’s simple and pretty healthy.

Now, I know that there are a lot of people out there who think salad is a very boring food item: you eat a little with your dinner as filler. I’m here to tell you, though, that nothing could be farther from the truth. You can be as creative as you want with your salads.

You don’t need to be a gourmet chef to make your salads filling, tasty, and visually appealing.

First things first: ditch the romaine lettuce! Or, at the very least, mix it with another type of lettuce. Some varieties off the top of my head: butter lettuce, red lettuce, lamb’s lettuce. You could also do baby greens, a spinach salad, or use arugula. Use your imagination. If you’re feeling really naughty, you can even ditch the greens and make something like a corn salad or a cucumber salad.

For my salad, I used some mesclun that I picked up at the farmer’s market. Mesclun is a mix of salad greens and lettuce leaves.
