Strawberries, blueberries

By Anonymous
I've got one carton of strawberries and two of blueberries in the fridge right now, and I need to do something with them in the next few days before they go bad (and before I go to the farmer's market). Any suggestions?

    Hm... Alissa makes this really good fruit sauce kind of thing that is basically plain or vanilla yogurt with a little bit of vanilla extract stirred in, then some milk to thin it out a little, and then some cinnamon. And you pour it over the sliced-up berries. And it is GOOD.

    I also made this really delicious mint sauce one time, but can't remember where I got the recipe. I think it was online and I'll try to think of it for you tomorrow. The yogurt is awesome, though -- can't lose with that.

    Yum. The yogurt sauce sounds good. I may stop and pick some up tomorrow...that would make a good dessert or breakfast type thing.

    oh, Gwen has made some modifications to my yogurt sauce. :)

    I just take vanilla yogurt (plain would be fine), add some vanilla extract, sugar and cinnamon. (I don't add any milk, but I do add a little sugar). And I use it to dip fruit in, or I use it to layer with fresh fruit and granola for a parfait-type thing.

    When I have a lot of berries that need to be eaten quick, I usually just slice them, put them in a bowl, sprinkle with sugar, and put them in the fridge until they make their own juice (couple of hours), and then spoon them over angel food cake or shortcakes (sometimes I make my own), or ice cream or anything.

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my...

tomato & corn cobbler

By gwen
This is a delicious late summer dinner , and a one-pot meal at that, if you're willing to turn on your oven. I tweaked a lot of the amounts in the original recipe — the biscuits get really puffy and there weren't enough veggies the way it was written imo. Also for the record, I've tried adding zucchini to this but I don't recommend. INGREDIENTS    3 pints  cherry tomatoes, not cut, any kind (you can also chop big tomatoes in here but take out the pulp and seeds so it doesn't get too watery) 6   ears' worth of fresh corn kernels 1   bunch green onions whites and greens, chopped handful of fresh basil, chopped For the biscuits: 1½   cups  AP  flour 2 1/2   teaspoons   baking powder 3/4   cup   shredded cheddar or swiss cheese, or probably anything a little sharp is fine 3/4   cup  milk with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice (recipe calls for  buttermilk but I haven't been able to tell a difference) ⅓   cup ...
