Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the Titanic who waved off the dessert cart.

I thought the quote above was cute. I am one of those people who cannot keep desserts in my house. I honestly will eat them until they are gone. There might have been an occasion or more than one during our first year of marriage when my husband held up an empty dish in shock to ask if I had ate all of the brownies, because he had only had 2. I try to practice willpower but when it comes to brownies it's just like everything else goes out the window. That is why I try to give away any desserts I make. My waistline and running time cannot afford to have dessert every night (especially if I eat the whole pan). I also hate going over to someones house to hang out and not bringing anything. S0 a lot of times I'll bring a dessert along. That way I get to bake some, I get to have some and I get to leave it there to tempt them (evil laugh). In all honesty though I do like to bake I just try not to do it too often. However, this past weekend when we were going to a friends house I realized I had no butter, no cake mix, no brownie mix, nothing just a few bags of frozen blueberries I'd picked a month ago. So I tried mixing a little of this and a little of that and I had an amazing cobbler result from all that experimenting. I had to share it because summer is the perfect time to make berry cobblers as the berries are so fresh. I also think these would make great mason gar desserts. Mini cobblers in Mason Jars topped with vanilla ice cream... sounds like a perfect southern summer dessert to me! Speaking of berries, thank you to everyone who filled out the survey last week. It showed that the overwhelming majority considers cherries their favorite summer fruit! I completely agree!!! Enjoy your summer dessert, don't eat too much!
