Busy Busy!

Berry Cobbler Mmm Mmm...

Inspired by a gloomy 50 degree day and a gathering of family and friends, I decided to bake up some berry cobbler. Melt in your mouth berries, crumbs, and vanilla ice cream... the perfect treat for our rainy evening. The recipe I used was extremely simple and it was ready in an hour. Here's how...

Ingredients: 
4 c. mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and/or raspberries)
1 1/2 c. sugar, divided
1 stick butter
1 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk

Preheat your oven to 350. Mix the berries and a 1/2 cup of sugar in a separate bowl. Next melt the entire stick of butter in the bottom of a 9X13 inch glass  dish. In another bowl combine 1 cup of sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and mix until smooth. Pour the batter over the buttered glass dish. Spoon the sugared berries on top and pop it in the oven. Let it bake for 50 minutes and Voila! Berry cobbler! Now pull out the vanilla ice cream for a necessary finishing touch. Your guests will not be disappointed!

Celebrity Shoes for Less Than a Fortune...



Charlotte Olympia pumps are famous with many celebrities for their interesting details and incredible inches.  I've been drooling over her heels for some time now but I don't think any amount of time could bring me closer to spending hundreds or thousands on any pair of shoes. Definitely not when you can get the same look for so much less. If you're looking for some heels that draw attention without the guilt click to purchase these look alikes... 
Top Row: Charlotte Olympia ($470-$990)
Bottom Row: Target, Zara, DSW ($23-$100)
