Blueberry Pineapple Cobbler

Yes, it's true, I have a thing for blueberries. What can I say? My grandpa had a blueberry patch when I was a kid and I have fond memories of those carefree days. 

This is my sister-in-law, Lorra's recipe. Lorra is an amazing cook. You're sure to see more of her recipes on here another time. 

Blueberry/Pineapple Cobbler

2 c. blueberries

1 can crushed pineapple with juice

2 boxes Jiffy yellow cake mix (I haven't tried 1 box of regular sized yellow cake mix, but I'm sure it would work in a pinch).

1/4 c sugar

2 sticks semi-melted butter

1 c pecans, chopped

Mix blueberries, pineapple and sugar. Place in a greased casserole/baking dish

Mix cake mix and butter. Spoon over fruit mixture. Top with pecans.

Bake 350 for 30-40 minutes.

I like to serve this warm. Even with leftovers, I like to zap it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Enjoy!

Blueberry Coffee Cake

I got this yummy recipe from Whimsical Creations 
Lately, I've been looking through my recipe books and blogs searching for easy to make, yet super yummy new recipes. I stumbled across this one for Blueberry Coffee Cake and had to try it. If you haven't noticed, blueberries are still in the market and are priced well. As for my family, we know a lady from church who has a small blueberry patch on her land and lets us pick until our hearts are content. At home, I wash all of them, lay them out on the table overnight to dry well. In the morning, I store them in freezer bags and place them in the freezer till I'm ready to use them.

Here's the recipe (I tweeked it a bit for my home):
For the cake
2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup soft butter
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
2 cups blueberries (drain them well if you are using from a bag).
Toppping
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup soft butter
cinnamon to sprinkle on top

Oven 350
Grease baking dish.
Blend all ingredients except for the blueberries

Then gently blend in the blueberries

Pour into greased baking dish and spread out to make even

Sprinkle on topping and then cinnamon

Bake for 45-50 minutes

Enjoy!
