Crowd-Pleaser Cobbler

Looking for an easy dessert to whip up for your 4th of July festivities?  We stumbled across a most delicious, simple cobbler recipe from Williams-Sonoma.  Yum-yum (or, if you speak French, Miam-Miam!).  It was gone very quickly, and there were rave reviews from all our party guests who tried it!  Now is a wonderful time to make cobbler because of all the beautiful berries present.  We made this recipe with a combination of blueberries and blackberries, because that's what the grocery store had.  We think a cobbler (or any berry dessert:  galletes, pies, and buckles work, too!) is great for a 4th of July celebration because it's down-home goodness at it's best.

Have a wonderful 4th of July!  (Oh, if you try this recipe, we want to hear how it turned out!)

We're Back!

So sorry for our absence! We had such a wonderful time visiting with our parents, Dave & Babs, while they took a brief break from their work in Liberia. Following are some photos of what we've been up to the last few weeks. Stay tuned, because even though we are playing catch-up in our work and home lives, we're back to the Babs Blog! We hope the last few weeks were as happy for you as they were for us. (Isn't family wonderful?!)

While we were gone we...

Happy July to each of you...and we'll see you right back here tomorrow!
