Raspberry Cobbler Recipe

This summer seems like it has just flown by, doesn't it? Pretty soon school will start, and two of my grandsons will be starting kindergarten this year. I can't believe these little guys are each five years old, they still seem like babies to me in so many ways.

But I'm still hanging onto summer as long as I can, and making fruit desserts with all that summer fruit still in the markets. Raspberries are a favorite with my family, so I decided to make this delicious Raspberry Cobbler for us all.

This is a super easy recipe, and you can substitute other berries if you don't have raspberries, or do a combination of different kinds. I love making this as a dessert, and then having any leftovers for breakfast the next morning.

When I was a kid, my parents always topped fruit desserts with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, and it's a tradition that I'm more than happy to carry on.
