i have been doing a lot of baking these last few weeks, i think there is something very therapeutic in taking ingredients mixing them together and making something that your friends and family can enjoy. here is one of my all time favorites, taken from one of my mom's recipes and made gluten free. i use frozen berries because it is WAY easier and very inexpensive, i once made this with fresh berries and it cost me fifty dollars for the berries alone! so i would go with the frozen and then you can have a cobbler with berries that are not necessarily in season. my favorite combo is blackberry and raspberry because the tartness goes well with the sweet dumpling like topping. i hope you enjoy it as much as i do!
