Blackberry Cobbler
This blackberry cobbler has a light and fluffy cake-like topping instead of the traditional biscuit-style. My fiancé said this blackberry cobbler was the best she's ever had. Serve warm with heavy or whipped cream.
Blueberry Dessert
This heavenly dessert was my Grandmother's recipe, and there are never any leftovers. The sweet meringue and the salty crust just compliment each other. You will need to print copies of the recipe, because everyone that has a taste will want it. You can make this the night before you need it.
Winter Green Salad
People tend to forget to eat green salads and other raw foods in the cold winter weather. This salad is a good way to get your greens by combining somewhat heartier salad textures. I find that this salad is filling enough to be the main course, with a bit of bread or some rice cakes on the side. It will also work as an appetizer in a smaller serving.
