Buy enough frozen berries at the same time for both the waffle topping the the cobbler. Check the price of fresh and consider using some to brighten the dish. Fresh fruit has a stronger flavor and has a better texture, and occasionally can be found for cheaper prices. Consider looking into a local produce co-op (i.e Bountiful Baskets.)

I included two different varieties of sliders this week: lamb sliders for those who’ve always to try lamb but never had a reason to (and for those who already know how superior lamb is to beef in so many ways) and a beef slider for the rest.

We have several recipes this week for the Super Bowl. We used the salsa and the guacamole in case you didn’t get them last week and because they are great party snacks. I love having buffalo wings for Football Sunday and chocolate chip cookies are a easy dessert for a large group of people.
