Blackberry and Peach cobbler

This is our summer favorite desert

3 cups blackberrys
4 peeled and sliced peaches
1 cup sugar or 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup granulated Splenda or all splenda

1 1/2 cups self rising flour
1 cup sugar or 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup splenda don't use all splenda
1 1/2 cups milk

1 stick butter

Turn oven to 350 then peel the peaches (easy way is to bring a large pot of water to boil and place the peachs into the boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes then place in cold water and the skins should just slip off) Thinly slice the peaches and add to the blackberrys along with the sugar stir and let get juicy.

When oven reachs temp place the stick of butter in a 9 x 13 baking pan and place in the oven to melt the butter.

Combine the flour and sugar and add the milk. Mix well.

When the butter is melted pour the batter into the pan and spoon the fruit over the top no need to press down the batter will rise over it. Pour and juice left over the top of the batter, Place back in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

Really any fruit can be used.

We have blackberrys in our garden and fresh peachs are in season now.

This was my mother-in-laws recipe.

"Pasta Salad"

Ingredients:

16- ounces elbow macaroni or shells, bowties
3- (6 ounce) cans of white tuna
4-5 hardboiled eggs, chopped
2- stalks celery, diced
1- Red onion, diced
5 tablespoons of Hellmanns/Best Foods mayonnaise (or more if you wish)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons of ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Add fresh Parsley or dehydrated flakes
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
3-4 dashes hot sauce (we like Crystal Red Hot Sauce)

Here are the Directions:

Boil pasta as directed until al dente.(10-12 minutes) Drain and rinse with cold water. (I also boil the eggs at this time and rinse them in cold water when finished).
In a large salad bowl, combine chopped eggs, diced red onion, celery,Hellmanns/Best Foods mayo, lemon, spices, relish, and hot sauce.
Drain the tuna well and add to the bowl.
Make sure the pasta is relatively dry (a little water clinging to them keeps the salad moist and cuts down the mayo needed).
Thoroughly mix the salad and chill if desired.
For a zesty kick to the salad, add a splash of organic apple cider vinegar

Serve as a delicious side dish to egg salad sandwiches or hamburgers, or over a fresh bed of lettuce..Iceberg or Romaine.

Enjoy everyone!
