Usually, I am excited that Friday has arrived... today is a different story. It has been a strange week at work and it doesn't seem that the weirdness will end until 5PM. So I am going to push myself thru these next few hours and be productive! Tomorrow, I will be tackling a project that I have been neglecting for months....MY CLOSET. My friends have always helped me organize my closet but since the move, the closet has been a complete eye sore. A very willing and brave soul has decided that I need to have a functioning closet and has offered to assist me! Thank you friend!
My Grammy celebrated her 89th birthday yesterday! I love my Grammy and even though things aren't what they used to be, I am so glad that God has allowed my Grammy to touch my life. Truth be told, my foodie-ness comes from that special lady. She never made me learn to cook, but she did make me clean the kitchen. Being in the kitchen with her allowed me to pick up on all of her recipes. One of the best gifts ever in my opinion!
In the crock pot this week I mastered the Cherry Cobbler. Ha! Bet you weren't expecting to see that! It is a simple and quick recipe. When I was in the grocery store picking up items for the cobbler my big headed brother called (a rare instance). We chatted and reminisced about our Grammy making us go to the grocery store to pick up items. Back to the cobbler.......
Ingredients
1 Can cherry pie filling
1 cup of flour
1/4 cup of Sugar
1/4 cup of melted butter
1/2 cup of milk
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (I used vanilla)
1/4 teaspoon salt
As usual, I modified the recipe to my liking! I couldn't find my almond extract and when I went to the store it was a little pricey at 5.99 for a small bottle! So I did the reasonable thing and used vanilla. I also used the bigger can of cherry pie filling. Spray your crock pot with cooking spray, dump in your filling. Mix the other ingredients together (the recipe said with a spoon, I suggest you use a mixer). Smooth it on top of your filling and cook for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. I cooked the cobbler for about 2 15 mins on high. It was a GREAT cobbler! I took it to a BBQ potluck dinner. Because it was still warm, I served it with some good ole vanilla ice cream! The recipe came from the Betty Crocker Crockpot cook book. That Betty Crocker sure did know her stuff!!! The crust for the cobbler was moist and fluffy and perfect! I was a little worried about cooking a cobbler in the crockpot but I would do it again in a New York minute! I might try the cheese cake recipe next!!!
Have a fantastic Friday..... or at least better than mine!
