Real Food – Fresh Cherry Cobbler

My grandmother made the best blueberry cobbler on the planet. I am happy to tell you, it’s in the genes. Grandma made this recipe entirely on the stove-top in a cast-iron pot with a lid. I don’t have a similar pot, so I use the microwave (because I don’t have to watch and stir) and then the oven. Try it … you’ll love it!

It’s What’s for Dinner in Mommyknowsville

Well, it’s what was for dinner a couple of nights ago. By popular demand I am going to show you how to go about making the salad/pizza dish and cornbread salad that I made at the Kraft Kitchens with Chef Harry Crane and Danielle of foodmomiac.

I’ll start with the ‘Bistro Salad/Pizza‘ combo (cornbread salad coming soon)! Mmmmm!

Bistro Salad / Pizza

I think the beauty of this meal (besides the great taste), is the presentation. It looks good.

Well I could! Then again, you should see my friends.
