For the love of berries …

TGIF everybody!!! The weekend is right around the corner and I am so ready. How about you? Before the weekend is officially here I wanted to share this Mixed Berry Cobbler recipe I came up with last night, absolutely delicious!

Right now berries are on sale just about everywhere you go and when I was at our local Safeway the other day blueberries, and raspberries from Watsonville which is local, were such a great deal that I had to buy some. I had an idea in mind, Blueberry Pull-Apart Biscuits from Stacey Little over at SouthernBite.com, so blueberries were already on my list, the raspberries were going to be a great addition to whatever I was going to make or simply delicious in a bowl of cereal. Whatever was going to happen, the berries were too good of a deal to pass up. And the dogs love them as treats.

As I was gathering the ingredients to cook the pull-apart biscuits I got the idea for doing a mixed berry cobbler instead. We had vanilla ice cream in the freezer so it seemed like a marriage made in heaven. The pull-apart biscuits are definitely on my list of things to make some weekend morning though, I hear the glaze on those things is nothing short of amazing!

Here’s the mixed cobbler recipe I came up. Next time I’m going to try making individual servings. I hope you enjoy!

ICE CREAM … sorry for yelling

I do apologize for yelling the headline but I am crazy excited about a new culinary toy we got today … an ice cream machine. We have been looking at them off and on for awhile, and yesterday I texted David after hearing about a recipe for vanilla frozen yogurt being made on one of the Food Network morning shows; I said, “We need an ice cream machine.” The only criteria was that we needed to get the best price which meant I needed to do price comparison between a two specific stores, Costco and Tuesday Morning. I thought I had done my homework and purchased one I found at Tuesday Morning here in Redwood City. What I forgot to check was differences in models, I didn’t realize my mistake until I got it home and did the model comparison online. What I ended up buying was a 1.5 quart machine for the same price as a 2 quart machine at Costco. This morning I took the 1.5 quart machine back for a refund and went directly to Costco and got the 2 quart machine. Let the ice cream, yogurt, and sorbet making begin!!! Recipes and photos to come.

Did I mention that 10am, or shortly after, on a weekday, is a great time to go to Costco? It is. There are very people in the store and the lines to check out are short.
