Sunday Fun with Blackberry Cobbler Pancakes

Sundays are  good days at our house.  Usually we sleep in a little bit, there isn’t much on the day’s agenda (or at least we try!), and best of all it’s pancake day!  At our house pancakes are quite controversial – my girlfriend likes thin pancakes and I like nice fluffy ones (and chocolate chips are always a good addition).  She likes lots of toppings as in anything in the fridge or cupboard is fair game, and I like just a little bit of peanut butter and syrup.   If you ever come over on a Sunday morning you will get pancakes made to order with lots of topping choices and you will not go hungry!  

A Little Piece of Home - Blackberry Cobbler Cookies

My mom makes the best cobbler – apple and blackberry are her specialty!  And now that I am now 2,500 miles away from home if I want some cobbler I gotta make it myself!  I decided to put a spin on her recipe and make blackberry cobbler cookies.  You can use any filling you want but the tart blackberry filling really helps balance out the sweetness of the cookie and crumble top.  

Blackberry Muffin Top Bread with a Cream Cheese Swirl

I don’t know about you but in our house the tops of freshly baked muffins and cupcakes mysteriously disappear – its always been a problem… must be a ghost or something!  But today I have the solution – Muffin Top Bread!  I know, I know the first thing that comes to mind when I hear “Muffin Top” is the unfortunate event of a woman’s pants being too tight around their waist creating a “muffin top” – HOWEVER  today’s muffin top bread is a delicious combination of sweet bread, fruit, and a cream cheese swirl that come together to form an easy-to-make bread that tastes just like the top of a muffin.  

Problem solved – no more fighting over everyone’s favorite part of the muffin!
