My Granny's Chocolate Cobbler

First stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, 3 tablespoons of the cocoa, and 3/4 cup of the white sugar. Reserve the remaining cocoa and sugar.

Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla to the flour mixture. Mix until smooth. 

Pour the mixture into an ungreased 8-inch baking dish.

I prefer my small oval Corning Ware glass dish.

In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining white sugar (it should be 1/2 cup), the brown sugar, and remaining 4 tablespoons of cocoa. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.

Pour the hot tap water over all. DO NOT STIR!

Bake for about 40 minutes or until the center is set.

Let stand for a few minutes if you can hold yourself back.

Serve with homemade ice cream using the gooey sauce to spoon over all.

1 cup All-purpose Flour

2 teaspoons Baking Powder

¼ teaspoons Salt

7 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder, Divided

1-¼ cup Sugar, Divided

½ cups Milk

⅓ cups Melted Butter

1-½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

½ cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed

1-½ cup Hot Tap Water

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Fondue with The Bagwell's

I heart FONDUE PARTIES!!!

When I was little we used to go over to the Springer's house and have fondue around their table. I remember like it was yesterday! It's great to share this time with special people. Believe me there is plenty of time to make memories and get to know each other.

(If you use broth it takes a while to cook the food)

 

Bon Appetit!

Cheese fondue, Filet, Chicken, Mushrooms and Broccoli. Yummy!

I really enjoy entertaining and cooking for people.

Icing on the cake:

Dessert Fondue- we shared a bowl of pineapple and strawberries dipped in chocolate! 

I believe this is when we discovered the chicken if left in the oil for a longer period of time tasted like chicken nuggets from Chick-f-la

M-I-C-K-E-Y MOUSE (Sing to the theme song)

We made our way to Epcot on Monday afternoon and just as I remembered it was MAGICAL!

When I was a kid, Walt Disney World was the Magic Kingdom and no matter how transparent the fakery, I loved everything! I refered to the characters as real people a couple of times and Paul corrected me. :) It was just as I imagined it. Actually it was even better!

With so many things to do and see aside from the theme parks it really is a huge world where dreams come true. It's where you can be a kid again...who cares if we rode the Peter Pan ride and loved it!

It's the HAPPIEST place on earth possibly. Every where you looked the employees were congratulating someone on their honeymoon, anniversary, first visit or birthday.
