Blackberry Strawberry Cobbler with Almond Whipped Cream
Well, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Let them eat cobbler. OK, never have I said that, and the expression is, “Let them eat cake.” But I figured Marie Antoinette coined that phrased so long ago, perhaps a change was sure to come, and why shouldn’t it ...
