The Cobbler Recipe AND a New Boyfriend!

My my my, it seems EVERYBODY wants a slice of my cobbler!

So now you can make it for yourself!


Fruit Cobbler (easy version)

1 can pie filling (cherry, blueberry, peach, apple, etc.)

3 tablespoons melted butter

1 cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup milk

1 cup sugar

*******************************************

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Pour can of pie filling into an ungreased 8 x 8 baking pan


Melt butter in microwave


Mix butter, flour, baking powder, milk, and sugar together in a bowl


Spread batter over fruit in the baking pan

Bake cobbler for 45 minutes; serve warm with whipped cream

Now, if you are ambitious like Buddybear and his family, follow this recipe.

Fruit Cobbler (hard version)

3.5 cups fresh/dried fruit


1 cup boiling water

3/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

3 tablespoons melted butter

1 cup sugar

*******************************************

Melt butter in microwave


Mix butter, flour, baking powder, milk, and sugar together in a bowl


Spread batter over fruit in the baking pan

Bake cobbler for 45 minutes; serve warm with whipped cream

And now let me introduce you to a new boyfriend on the scene: Average Gay Dude!  He's cute, has mad drawing skillz, is artsy/craftsy, lives in South Florida, and is a vegan!

AGD, go check out these skilled friends of mine:  Dr. Spo (scroll down and see one of his famous spo-shirts) and Sassybear (check out his crocheted accessories) and Fearsomebeard (he knows how to bake).  I have some of the most creative friends in the universe!  Ain't I a lucky girl!

  6. Guys I'm not single, anne marie the knitting goddess is my girlfriend...dreams do come true.

    1. my bad; I fixed your description.

      I like being your cougar (or grandma) girlfriend. and I wanted to introduce you to my boyfriends cause they are wicked awesomesauce! go stalk them (nicely).

      so how DID you discover my blog anyway?

    2. Does this mean we get to spoon feed each other vegan desserts now? Bow chicka wow wow

      I look forward to reading their blogs...don't worry I'm a nice stalker! I did peep each one...I love Spo's Grinch shirt. Sassybear has quite the skillz too, you got competition GF! and Fearsomebeard needs to open up his own bakery and give us a bloggy discount on his treats.

      Does Sassybear every Croch-Hey? Or does he just crotchet?

    4. oh sweet mother of pearl, what fresh hell is this? what pandora's box (heh heh heh, I said "box") did I open up here?

      and I see you have given me a hashtag. sorry, I don't have a twitter account, nor a facebork presence. hell, I don't even have a cell phone, nor do I watch tv. I would rather read a real book or knit.

      my boyfriends live all over the world. I will watch the video later; am doing something else right now.

    5. I don't blame you, television is garbage and a waste of time. According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day. That statistic blows my mind. It must feel so freeing not having multiple social media distractions interrupting you. I primarily use it to advertise my artwork.

      Lately I've been really into self-improvement type books so I'll listen to an audio and work on a drawing. Are you reading any exciting books at the moment?

      It's a silly video but I thought it would make you laugh. I'll post a pic of your cobbler if I come around to making it (the easy version of course lol) while substituting it with almond milk and vegan butter. :)

    6. I have a 40 hr/week job, I have a life, and I choose to fill my mind with intelligent things, not shit like honey boo boo or fuck dynasty. my social outlets are this blog and a member-only knitting/crochet social website (sassybear belongs to this website too). that's all I need.

      currently reading 2 books: one a bio of the philly-born opera singer marian anderson, the other a detailed bio of eleanor & franklin roosevelt.

      I figured you could turn the recipe vegan somehow; would love to see your results!

      PS - sassybear is also an artist; check out this linky: http://idleeyesandadormy.com/2013/03/10/anatomy-of-a-drawing

    Peace <3

    2. I would be interested in seeing how your recipe looks. for me it's all about easy/less time spent. but if your recipe works out, I may just change my mind.

  12. Both look like good recipes. I have to wait to try them when I have friends over. It’s too much for a single guy to eat by himself.

  16. I'm going to try a cobbler. I rarely bake as neither of us really need sweets but I have fond memories of peach cobbler when I was a child. Maybe making it will be nostalgic
