It's Been A While...

Before starting my new job Ben and I spent many days at the beach to enjoy my time off. So it's been a while since I updated the blog. We had a wondeful time at the beach and even made it to Charleston one day...just for the day. We enjoyed lunch at Stickey Fingers and dinner at The Noisy Oyster. Nothing beats their shrimp and grits.

In the mean time....I've made several dishes at home. One being a perfect summertime dessert...Blueberry Peach Cobbler. Last year at our wedding we made small jars of homemade blueberry jam. We found a blueberry farm near our house and picked buckets and buckets of blueberries. Almost one year later, we still have a few leftover blueberries we've frozen. But this dessert is wonderful with frozen peaches and blueberries from your grocery store as well.

Peach & Blueberry Cobbler (Cooking Light)

1 cup reduced-fat baking mix
1/2 cup regular oats
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chilled reduced-calorie stick margarine, cut into small pieces
4 cups frozen sliced peaches
2 cups frozen blueberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Vanilla low-fat frozen yogurt (optional)





Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl; cut in margarine with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Set aside.

Combine peaches and blueberries in a 2-quart casserole, and sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar evenly over fruit. Crumble oat mixture evenly over fruit. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until cobbler is bubbly. Top cobbler with frozen yogurt, if desired.
