Blueberry Muffins from Bouchon Bakery

These were okay muffins, but nothing special. I'd been led by the instructions to believe they would be something out of the ordinary - they have molasses, honey, lots of butter, and rest in in the fridge... read more >

Meme's Blackberry Cobbler

This is so simple, and so tasty, it has quickly become a family favourite. I use our cast iron frying pan to make it and in the summer I throw it on the BBQ so we don't heat up the house too much; the rest of the year it's simple to just mix it up and throw it in the oven when I'm prepping dinner. I've made it with frozen blackberries and fresh, and other mixed fruit - blueberries are a particular fave.

Suggestions: if you have a fairly small pan, be sure not to overfill or you'll get batter dripping down the sides of the pan. I usually put 3 cups of berries instead of four in ours, which is 10" diameter.

This is our go-to pumpkin pie recipe for all fall/winter holidays. It's a nice mixture of spices, a good ratio of egg to pumpkin to condensed milk, and I always get compliments on the flavor of it. It's not hard to make (one bowl) and I often cheat and use a frozen pie crust if I'm in a hurry.

I do find that with a frozen crust, even a deep dish one, I have some filling left over. I make several ramekins full of it, bake them for 25 minutes or so, and my daughters prefer them to the pie itself.
