Peach & Blueberry Cobbler

Where O Where have I been . . . you ask?

I’ve been locked out of my blog.

Really. It seems that someone out there, really wants to dig into the “roots” and get down & dirty.  I have a great server (InMotion VPS Hosting), and when someone other than myself continually tries to log-on unsuccessfully, it lock’s down!  It’s a bit annoying, but a safe-guard that I’m also thankful for.

So . . . get over it . . . move-on . . . get lost . . . I’m a small fish in a big sea, and besides . . . I’ve got posting to do!

This Old Fashioned Cobbler is one of my husbands favorite desserts.  I think it’s because it’s not over the top sweet.  The original recipe is just   . . .  Good Peach Cobbler.  Peaches are certainly plentiful, sweet and juicy this time of year, so it’s the perfect excuse for a cobbler or crisp.

It’s hard to even see the peaches in the pictures, since I tossed in big beautiful blueberries as well.  They tend to turn everything a purple blue hue.  I’ve added Raspberries before, and even huckleberries to this biscuit type cobbler and it always turns out DELICIOUS. We like a bit of Whipped Cream on the warm Cobbler, but a scoop of ice cream is also tempting and it’s never turned away. I tend to really brown the biscuits, since dough-y biscuits tend to be less than desirable!

. . . just thought you might like to know,

Every time I make this cobbler, my husband says the same thing.

he says . . .

“This is really good, but you should double the peach & berry mixture, that sits under the biscuits.”

I say . . .

“That’s a good idea.”

FYI:  Every time I make this Cobbler:  I FORGET!  If you forget, it will still be gobbled up.  Every last bite!
