Easy Batter Fruit Cobbler

By Jocelyn

I love cooking and making fun things to eat. 

I love this recipe called Easy Batter Fruit Cobbler!  It was so easy to make anyone can do it!  Here is the recipe!

Ingredients 
4 tablespoons of butter 
3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
3/4 cups of sugar 
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
2 cups of sliced fresh peaches or nectarines, or whole blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or a combination of fruits (or a 12-ounce package of frozen berries).  I used blueberries and strawberries.

Directions:
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Put butter in an 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan; set in oven to melt. When butter has melted, remove pan from oven.
  3. Whisk flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Add milk; whisk to form a smooth batter. Pour batter into pan, then scatter fruit over batter. Sprinkle with remaining 1 Tb. of sugar. 
  4. Bake until batter browns and fruit bubbles, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
 Here are a few pictures of me making this for my family!

First I melted the butter.
Here is me measuring out dry ingredients.
then poured the batter in the pie dish.

Next I cut up the strawberries.  

I then put the strawberries and blueberries on top of the batter.

I sprinkled some sugar on top.

I baked it and then took it out of the oven and got this!  


Yummy, yummy, especially with ice cream!

Banished!!!

By Katelyn


My family decided that our cat Tiger should live in our garage because he sheds and scratches on everything!  His food, water, and bed is in our garage now and we put a cat door so he could go in and out. 
(The new cat door, bed, and food)


Tiger has been begging to go inside we only let him in if we are going to pet him and play with him. 

Tiger loves to go on our front porch and sit on our chairs, climbs trees, and play in the sewers.

Do not worry he is still a spoiled cat and we love him!

I went to a FOCUS party over the weekend.  I had a lot of fun!  At the party we played games, ate, got our pictures taken, and got our last years yearbook.

FOCUS is a homeschool group that stands for Families of Christ United through schooling.

I do not have any pictures from the party, but I do have some pictures from last year so here they are!
