Review:
I made this as a potluck dish when I had never made it before which I do not recommend, but in this case, it was great so feel free to take this dish to any potluck, first time or not, because I don't think you can mess this one up gals!
The cobbler was very cake-like rather than the traditional cobbler made with pie crust. I like that the fruit is on the bottom like a surprise because when you look at the top of this cake in the dutch oven, you cannot tell there is anything under the cake. You can substitute my apple mix for any pie filling you like and it will work. The cream soda really gave the cake a rich vanilla flavor and kept it very moist even though you must bake it about 45 minutes or it won't be done in the center. This would be a great dessert for camping or a small family gathering with few ingredients and very little prep. time. I give this recipe a thumbs up!

Review of homemade Double Decker Tacos
The double decker taco recipe I shared with you in August I neglected to review, even though it was my very first recipe blog! Don't worry, I have already grounded myself from chocolate for a week!
Review:
Husband Denny - These are much better than Taco Bell makes and you can make them healthier at home with Romain lettuce like we use and lots of veggies.
Daughter Katie - I like the meat filling mom made, but am not a fan of refried beans therefore I am not a huge fan of this recipe. I ended up making soft tacos for myself and they were delicious!
Daughter Ally - I loved it. Mommy cooks yummy food.
Little ol' me - making this meat in the crockpot saved me some time which is always appreciated by a working mother. I liked that I could recreate something we love at a fast food place and make it my own and healthier too. This recipe gets thumbs up from me!

Experimental Camping Apple Cobbler
It's been a while since my first entry and I do apologize, but I am a busy lady! Today I am going to give you a recipe for a delicious apple cobbler that you can make virtually ANYWHERE, including over a campfire.
This past weekend we went camping with our church congregation at the lake and on Saturday night we had a huge potluck dinner. I prepared two dishes that I had never made before, which some would say is risky business. I made campfire bread and apple cobbler. Today I am going to share the recipe with you for the apple cobbler. This recipe is not my own, I actually found it on a great website for campfire cooking. You will need a dutch oven to bake the cobbler in.
Ingredients:
2 Box white cake mix
2 cans of cream soda
1/2 cup of butter (melted)
1/2 cup of brown sugar
5 medium Jonathan apples (peeled and cut into wedges)
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 Tbs. Flour
Directions:
Peel and cut up your apples first. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, apples, butter and flour together. Pour the apple mixture in the bottom of a dutch oven. In a large mixing bowl, combine both cake mixes and both cans of cream soda and mix until smooth. Pour the cake mixture over the apple mixture put the lid on and cook over a fire for 45 minutes or until it no longer jiggles.
This cobbler is very sweet and more of a cake than a pie as far as the crust goes, but it is delicious and super easy and can be made in an over, on a stove or over a fire!
