Love this time of year, when the blackberries are ripening behind the barns and I can go get scratched up all over and sucked down by ticks–all in search of a bucket of fresh berries. Have no idea why this is so alluring, and yet it is.

After soaking and cleaning, I ended up with enough for a small cobbler. Look at all the fun veggies that are fresh now–new potatoes, squash, zucchini, peppers, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers…..
How’s your garden doing? (The squash, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers are from the garden, the corn and potatoes are from the farmers market.)
My favorite cobbler recipe is SO easy–one cup of flour, one cup of sugar, a pinch of salt, mixed with one egg then just thrown on top of the fruit. Cut a stick of butter on top and bake for about 30 minutes at 350.
Does that look good or what? Vanilla ice cream on top = perfection!!

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

I wish we had veggies and berries avaiable on the property – your pictures make the fresh food look heavenly. I’ll have to invade MIL’s garden.

I do almost the same cobbler recipe only mine’s not as good for you. I start with a melted stick of butter, pour the fruit in and top with the cobbler mix only instead of 1 egg, I use 1/2 cup of milk. I think I’ll try yours today!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic day. Hey Suzanne, do you or anyone else on here get and read the Romantic Times Book Review magazine, and is it good? I want to subscribe but wanted to make sure I would get much enjoyment out of it first before I do. :purr:

Yummy; I’ll have to try it. I make a fruit crisp, but it uses oatmeal in the topping, along with brown sugar, flour, salt, vanilla, and butter.

Guess what?! My first (and only) tomatoe plant has a red tomatoe on it! YAY!
LeAnn, As for Romantic Times Magazine, I buy mine from the bookstore, but it’s a great publication. It has reviews for ALL genres, not just romance. it’s also online and has a whole “board” of topics. Hope that answers your questions.

Garden’s really starting to pick up now. We’ve got green peppers the size of your fist. Lots of lettuce and radishes. Strawberries are finally flowering again. Pumpkins growing and the potatoes that mysteriously appeared are probably ready to pull soon :thumbsup:
