Amazing Cobblers!!!

I was in the village last weekend for the June Conference and ended up picking about two gallons of blueberries and a bag of peaches!!! When I got home I didn't really know what to do with them, so we put the peaches in the fruit basket and the blueberries in the freezer. Monday night my mother made blueberry muffins for Tuesday morning breakfast, using some of the berries, and that Tuesday night Gavin, Autumn, and I made blueberry cobbler!!! It was a total hit! We served it with Vanilla ice cream and everybody loved it!!!

Fresh Blueberry Cobbler

1/4 cup sugar

1 T cornstarch

4 cups fresh blueberries

1 tsp lemon juice

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 1/2 tsp honey

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3 T butter

1/2 cup farm fresh milk

Blend 1/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch in a small saucepan. Stir in blueberries and lemon juice. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Pour mixture into 2-quart casserole.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together flour, 1 1/2 tsp honey, baking powder and salt. Add melted butter and milk. Stir until mixed but not too much. Drop mixture by spoonfuls onto hot fruit. Bake 25-30 minutes or until biscuit topping is golden brown.   6 to 8 servings.

We ate about half of the peaches but the other half were starting to go a little bad so I wanted to do something with them last night and remembered that I was on breakfast cook this morning, so I opened a cookbook and found a peach cobbler recipe! So this morning the kids jumped out of bed looking forward to peach cobbler for breakfast!!! Of course I only used half the sugar so it wasn't too bad for us. Besides, everybody needs to change their diet around every once in a while. :) When I was waking Autumn up this morning and told her what we were having her first question was, "With ice cream?"

I know that these pictures are with ice cream but I promise we didn't have ice cream for breakfast! I just put some on the plate with the last piece to try to get a good shot. Personally, I liked the peach cobbler better than the blueberry.

Animals...

Here is Brandon's leopard gecko, Joe...

Rustie's bunnies are growing up...

Hammy is pretty much all grown up. We now leave his cage open 24/7 and he runs around in the trees all day! I'm pretty sure Mic is going to take him somewhere to let him go today. He is a bit too friendly with the kids. He only likes my mom, Mic, Aya, and myself. Everybody else he will bite.

 He wanted to come to me :)

 Loves my camera!
