Crock Pot Cobbler

Want heaven in a bowl? Try this. Now. Or as soon as possible. But now is better.

I have avoided blueberries for most of my life, thinking I didn't like them. Luckily I promised my mom before she died that I would have my children eat things that I didn't like.

Guess, what? They're delicious!

I first made this recipe at a family reunion in Branson. The crock pot was licked clean.

Really.

Try it.

Please.

Sorry I don't have a picture of it with whipped cream. I left the girls alone with the spray cream and didn't have any left to photograph!

And what was my snack while I was waiting for it to cook? Guess mothers really do know best:c)
