Over the weekend I made, you guessed it, another Pioneer Woman recipe! I've decided now that I may be bordering on a 'slight obsession' with her recipes. Last night I told Hubby that I think I need to just go ahead and a pull a 'Julie and Julia' and bake through all of Pioneer Woman's cookbook. I mean, every single thing in there, I want to try! Well... except that prune cake, I'm a little skeptical. But she says not to tell anyone it's prunes and they'll never know the difference...but I'll know. Anyway, I thought maybe I should be more methodical about trying her recipes and get it done. I mean, how could any bad come from that? I guess... maybe all that butter
And cream
And sugar
And butter might foil my I-want-to-lose-5-pounds plan. Did I mention the butter? I guess a pros and cons list is in store. Who will help convince me that it's worth completing this task? I would be willing to share!
Moving along, I made "Patsy's Blackberry Cobbler". I'm pretty sure it's the first time I've ever made cobbler. It was a hit! We took it over to our friends' house and they enjoyed it. Hubby declared it a '5-Star' recipe and finished it the next day. Guess it's one we'll be incorporating into a regular rotation. I'm not sure what regular rotation that is... cause we don't actually have one... we just say that a lot... it means we liked something...whew... another tangent... let's just look at the picture... :o)

But that's perfectly fine with me! It was delicious and, even better, very simple. I think I have the recipe memorized already. Love those easy-to-remember recipes!
Also, we had another baby shower here at work. And I got to make the cake! I was more than willing. I've done many baby shower cakes here at work and decided that I need to have a baby-related shaped cake pan. I went to Michael's and got a baby carriage pan. This one was for a girl. The colors were much better in person--pink, green, and brown.

But I was pretty excited with how it turned out. Now I want more shaped pans! Maybe I need to start adding them to my Christmas list!
To life... full of cobbler and cake :o).............. and BUTTER!

Thanks Mom! Yes, she is the same one as on the website. Maybe I'll bring her cookbook with us over Christmas and we can make something out of there together!
