At the tailgate market last Saturday several sellers had pints and quarts of blackberries and they looked soooo yummy! I bought a quart--and then didn't know what I was going to do with them besides just eat them.
Then Kim, from work, gave me her recipe for blackberry cobbler and I tried it on Tuesday. It was super easy and super delicious and I'd show you a picture, but J-Man and I devoured it before the camera could fire up.
Well, okay, not quite that fast, but believe you me, I was not thinking of pictures after I put that first spoonful in my mouth!
So, here's Kim's recipe:
1 qt blackberries
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 C butter, melted
1 C quick oatmeal
Spread the blackberries out in the bottom of a casserole dish. If the berries are still a little tart, sprinkle them with regular sugar.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, and oatmeal with the melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the blackberries and place in a 350 degree oven.
Bake 20-30 minutes until blackberries are bubbly and topping is browned. Top with ice cream if desired, but it's just as good without the ice cream. Mmmmmmmm.
I'm experiencing that Pavlovian drool as I type.
Come Saturday morning, I'll be at the tailgate market for more--and this time I'm going to buy enough to freeze so we can have this again post-season.
Enjoy!

Off night #5
Well, did you see? Amanda typed "raindrops" into quiltshop.com and found my fabric for me! I'm just waiting til my daughter gets back to me before ordering it, in case she wants me to back it with something else I need to order. Meanwhile, doing the happy dance!
Finished piecing the baby quilt top today, and now I need to decide on a backing and binding. Since I was trying to make it scrappy and from my stash, I'm trying to find a piece big enough to do the whole thing, but as I said before, I don't have a lot of pastels (except pink; I was on a pink streak last year), so I might just have to trek on down to the lqs and find something there. But it was a nice, rainy day, and as I sewed I listened to a few favorite CD's.
Anyone out there remember Nilsson's "The Point"? It was on TV many years ago, and the song "Me and My Arrow" came from that. It has to be one of my favorite CD's of all times. We had the 8-track (yes, I lived that long ago) and a few years back I found the CD on Amazon.com. My favorite song on there is:
"Think About Your Troubles"
Sit beside the breakfast table
Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup of tea
Then think about the bubbles.
You can take your teardrops
And drop 'em in a teacup
Take 'em down to the riverside
And throw 'em over the side
To be swept up by a current,
Then taken to the ocean
To be eaten by some fishes,
Who were eaten by some fishes
And swallowed by a whale,
Who grew so old,
He decomposed.
He died, and left his body
To the bottom of the ocean.
Now, everybody knows
That when a body decomposes,
The basic elements
Are given back to the ocean,
And the sea does what it oughtta
And soon there's salty water,
Which is not too good for drinkin'
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop
So we run it through a filter
And it comes out from a faucet
Where it pours into a teapot
Which is just about to bubble.
Now, think about your troubles.
I just love that little song!
"The Point", for those of you who have never seen or heard it, is about a little round-headed boy who lives in a town of pointy-headed people. He and his dog, Arrow, ("because Arrow was found guilty of complicity") were banished to the Pointless Forest, where everything and everyone has a point. I guess you can make it about anything you want, but I see it as being about the uniqueness of each individual. It's a child's tale, but like most enduring children's stories, has a message adults can appreciate.
Anyway, it's the end of another mini vacation day, and to celebrate, here is a recipe for you. Cooking is not my strong suit, so trying to cook EVERY night has been a hassle. But I found a recipe I haven't used in a while--honey mustard chicken. It's easy, it keeps the chicken from drying out and you can cook it in the oven or the microwave.
Honey Mustard Chicken
2 1/2 - 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 C honey
2 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp ground hot red pepper
If you didn't use boneless, skinless chicken, remove skin and visible fat from the portions. Arrange chicken in single layer in baking dish. Stir together remainder of ingredients in small cup until well mixed. Brush chicken with half of the mixture.
If baking in oven, place in preheated 450 degree oven and immediately reduce temp to 375 degrees. Bake 30 minutes, turn chicken and baste with half of the remaining mixture; after 45 minutes in the oven, baste with remainder of mixture. Cook aprox. 10 more minutes and serve. (Total cooking time = 55 minutes.)
If using microwave, baste with half of mixture, and cook on medium to medium high for 10 minutes. Pour off fluid, turn chicken and baste with remaining mixture and cook on medium to medium high 7-10 minutes until cooked through.
That's it! So easy, so tender! I served it with brown rice, an apple/carrot/craisin salad, and green pigeon peas.
Guess I'll go mop the floor. Tomorrow that will seem preferable to doing the taxes, so I need to remove that "temptation". I am SUCH a procrastinator.

!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!
Feels like ages since I've posted, but it's only been a week. After working the 25th, 26th and 27th, I was bushed and slept most of the day Friday. BUT, as my brother and sister-in-law were driving up from Alabama to spend the weekend, I spent most of Friday evening clearing out the sewing room so I could put up the inflatable queen-sized mattress. There are some exceptions, but the majority of fabric that is NOT on my bookshelves ended up on the back porch.
Other items are in the guest room, which, unfortunately, only holds a double bed.
Saturday we took them to lunch at a Chinese buffet, then to Main Street to wander through some fun shops. While there, we bought a game Apples to Apples and stayed up til after midnight playing it. What a fun game! If you haven't played it, you have to find a way. I will never think of cockroaches in the same way ever again! lol
My SIL, who loves old hurricane/kerosene/oil lamps as much as I do, bought four at one of our local antique shops and was able to find one of them listed in my books. It's a sewing lamp, larger and heavier than most old lamps, and very appropriate, as SIL is a genius with a sewing machine.
They also found a wonderful handmade wooden rocking horse for their grandchild-to-be at a great store in a nearby town, O.P. Taylor's. There are no digital games in this store, just good old-fashioned games to stimulate the imagination. Seems my nephew and his wife are having a baby in June! It'll be the first grandchild for my brother and SIL, and as SIL's brothers and sisters all have boys, also, everyone's hoping for a girl. We should know something next month.
ANd, oh, my brother brought his famous ambrosia--the 7th large jar he made this year! My dad used to make this for New Year's and it's heaven in a jar, for sure. There is maybe one bowl left in the fridge, and the J-Man and I are both eyeing it. I think I'll beat him to the punch and divide it up into two containers before we come to blows!
I think I cooked more this weekend than I have in a while. I steamed the last of the tamales and we had those with chicken enchilada casserole and spinach enchiladas like our family had on Chistmas one night. For breakfast one morning, we had ziploc omelets with toast and bacon, and this morning we had an easy breakfast casserole with some tangerine sections on the side. I found the recipe in a Pampered Chef cookbook I bought at a yard sale:
Denver Egg Strata
6 eggs
1 3/4 C milk
1/2 tsp prepared mustard
1/4 tsp salt
ground pepper to taste
6 slices bread, cubed
1 C (4 oz) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 C cubed ham
1/2 C chopped onion
1/2 C chopped green bell pepper
In large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, mustard, salt and black pepper. Stir in bread, cheese, ham, onion, and bell pepper. Pour mixture into greased 9' baking pan or glass dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake, uncovered, 1 hour or until set in center and golden brown.
Makes 5-6 servings.
They had planned to leave yesterday morning, but as I don't have to go back to work until Wed. night, they decided to stay one more night. We grilled steaks indoors with baked potatos and salad, and watched the ball drop--AFTER the Auburn/Clemson game.It almost took all weekend, but Tandi finally warmed up to the two of them. My brother fed her bits of bacon and the remainder of the scrambled eggs one morning, and scratched her ears every chance he got. My SIL snuggled her and scratched her ears, too, winning Tandi's affections, UNTIL last night when SIL flopped one of Tandi's long, curly ears over the top of her head like a toupee. I think Tandi's expression speaks for itself:
Tandi might not miss them much, but the house sure seems empty right now. It's almost enough to make me want to move back to Alabama. Almost.
Hope you all are having a wonderful start to this New Year.

Light Day
Well, yesterday was another 3-hr dentist appoinment, leaving my mouth a bit sore, and I seem to have acquired an allergy BLAST, so am not feeling up to par today. In addition, next week is our Quilt Guild Luncheon and as my group is hosting and I am a co-leader, I have GOT to get my sweatshirt vest done.
So I am posting the recipe for my Spinach Enchilada Casserole as requested by MightyMom. You can make this dish as pepper hot as you want, or not--depending on your Gringo mouth factor! And for those of you who say you don't like spinach, you might be surprised how good this is. It's a little time-intensive to make, so I usually make a large casserole and then a smaller one to freeze for later. You can freeze before cooking or after.
Spinach Enchilada Casserole
6-8 flour tortillas
1 1/2 C grated Monterey Jack cheese
6 whole green onions, chopped (reserve a tablespoon or two)
8 oz sour cream (I use light)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 clove garlic
1 sm pkg frozen spinach
1 sm can chopped green chiles*
Puree the last 5 ingredients together in a blender. (It may need to be done in batches)
Spread enough of the pureed mixture to cover the bottom of a casserole dish, then layer tortillas, puree, green onions and cheese, repeating until all is used up. It will bubble up, so leave yourself some room at the top.
Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes** or until the cheese melts. Serve with reserved green onions or chives as garnish.
Goes well with just a fresh salad, or you can serve some kind of black beans, refried beans, etc. too.
*If you have access to fresh or frozen green chiles, hurray!--the flavor will be much better. This is where you can adjust to taste. You can also substitute jalapeno peppers for the green chile. I buy green chiles and have them shipped to me, then roast them in my oven and freeze them in zipper gripper freezer bags. I will pull out several to peel and chop for this dish.
**Most of the time I just microwave the casserole at 10 minutes on med high power because I am an impatient cook. Works just as well.
Tomorrow I will post the recipe for Chicken Enchiladas for those of you who just can't bring yourselves to eat spinach. It's similar, and though we eat them together, either dish can stand alone.
Enjoy!
Oh, and check out the giveaway at the top of the page--there are some really beautiful gifts you can win just for decorating your blogs! (As a beginner, and owner of a 7-yr-old computer, I haven't figured out how to do that yet, but I'm going to try).

Friday night supper
I know I do well to get in 2 posts a week, much less 2 in a day, but I made a squash casserole from a new recipe and it was wonderful! So I just had to share the recipe. I think I got it from an online newsletter I subscribe to: "I'm Not Martha", but don't remember, so if I'm shorting someone on credit, I apologize. Researching it on Google showed the exact recipe from an old Southern Living Magazine.
Here is the recipe, and in parentheses are my modifications:
Zippy Squash Casserole
5 large yellow squash
2 T butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I didn't have only cheddar--used cheddar/Monterey Jack)
1 medium onion chopped
1/2 c. celery, chopped
3 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
1- 2 oz. jar pimentos (I used one roasted red pepper from a jar of them--GREAT substitute!)
1 T green chilies (Since we love green chile, I used a whole roasted one from my freezer. Gives it extra "hot")
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic salt (used garlic powder to cut down on the salt)
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 c soft breadcrumbs (used the plain breadcrumbs from the store)
1 T butter melted
Wash squash, trim off ends, slice and place in boiling salted water. Cook 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Combine next 10 ingredients; add squash, stirring well. Spoon mixture into a buttered casserole dish.
Combine breadcrumbs and melted butter (I stirred them in the same bowl that had the onion mixture, to flavor the crumbs a little), sprinkle over the top. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Omigosh, this was so much better than the bland squash casseroles I've made in the past. J-man agreed this was a keeper, and he's gotten very picky these days. If you try this, please let me know what you think!

Sunday breakfast
I would love to give the credit for this little recipe to whomever deserves it, but I honestly can't remember where it came from. But it is so handy, and so simple, and practically fool-proof.
Does your family like all different toppings and ingredients in their omelets? Or, are you having family members over for a special breakfast or guests from out of town? This will fill the bill for you.
"Ziploc Omelets"
1 qt-sized FREEZER zipper-closed baggie
permanent marker
2 eggs
toppings of choice--peppers, onions, cheese, ham, etc.
pot of boiling water
Have each participant mark a baggie with his or her name, then dump in 2 eggs. Add whatever ingredients he or she likes, then squeeze all the air out of the bag and seal it. Mush it to mix the eggs and ingredients together, then drop into pot of boiling water. Boil for approximately 13 minutes. (We put 5 in the pot and it took 15 minutes).
Fish baggie out of the water with tongs, open and slide omelet onto plate. Voila!
Everyone gets to eat a hot omelet made especially to his or her liking--and all at the same time!
Enjoy! And if you make these, let me know if you liked them!

Oops = Good Cookies
When I got home from work this morning, J-man was still in the bed. So as not to wake him, I fed the dog and let her out, then decided to make a batch of cookies to pass the time.
Now, I am a mediocre cook, a lackadaisical kind of baker. But this idea, modified slightly, came from Africankelli-- here: http://www.africankelli.com/2006/09/26/pumpkin-ravioli-and-pistachio-sugar-cookies/
Instead of sugar cookies, I got out a package of oatmeal cookie mix and dumped what I thought was a box of instant sugar-free butterscotch pudding into it, as I had done this past weekend. As I was tossing the box, I noticed it was cheesecake flavor instead. Ooops. Can't take it out. What to do? Look for pecans to add. Didn't find pecans, but DID find coconut. I added about 1/4 C of coconut to it, more than doubled the amount of water the mix called for (originally 1 T, so I put in 3 to adjust for the added powder), and baked for 10 minutes. Oh, my goodness, these are such good cookies. I decided I'd better blog this so I won't forget how to do it. For lack of imagination, these are now "coconut cheesecake oatmeal" cookies.
Now the J-man is up, and I have to work another 12 tonight, so I'm going to bed--AFTER I hide some back to take with me!
Enjoy!
