Triple Berry Cobbler

We make this cobbler every year at the annual FMC Youth Group Pork Dinner. The berries include raspberries, blueberries and blackberries!

You will want to scale this down since it makes a 11x15 pan!

1- 48oz bag triple berry frozen fruit

1/2 cup flour

1/4 cup sugar

dump all this into the bottom of the pan and mix

Using a food processor or a fork, combine the following till crumbly.

1 1/4 cups butter

2 1/4 cups oatmeal

2 1/4 cups brown sugar

2 cups flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp baking powder

Crumble over the fruit filling. Bake at 350 till fruit bubbles, around 30-45 minutes.

Another Cinnamon Roll Recipe

I've been making different cinnamon roll recipes lately, since Jordan has been eating them every morning (got to be better then doughnuts!). I have quite a few recipes that I like, but I tend to rotate through them. My favorite right now is the bun and cinnamon roll recipe from the Mennonite Girls Can Cook recipe book. It's easy, fast and always turns out for me!

You can find the recipe here: http://www.mennonitegirlscancook.ca/2010/02/buns-and-platz.html

and a few pics! No frosting since my picky husband won't eat them then...

Also, I will be heading the pork dinner at First Mennonite Church this week, where a favorite dessert is triple berry cobbler. I will post the recipe later this week.

Sausage Corn Chowder

This recipe is also from my mother-in-law, and is fantastic for a cold winter day (which we finally got a few of in Kansas!). Jordan's not a big fan of soup, but this is one that he will actually eat. It's also easy to make as you basically dump a few cans of things together, but who can complain about that....

Here it is:

1/2 lb italian sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tsp minced garlic
2 cups milk
10 3/4 oz can - cream of chicken soup
1 cup corn
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 - 4 oz can diced green chilies (I sometime substitute the tomato and green chilies for rotel)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese

Cook sausage, onion and garlic. Drain fat. Stir in milk, soup, corn, tomato, chilis, cilantro and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Stir often. Add cheese, cook until it melts. Makes 4-6 servings.
