Sometimes the best way to move forward is to step back in time. I know that sounds confusing but when it comes to cooking, some of our best recipes are from way back.

If you want to be reminded of your childhood meals, give this Spiral Blackberry Cobbler a try. (Of course you can use other berries to suit your taste or what is available in your area.) If you don"t have fresh berries available, use unsweetened frozen berries.
