Come together.

We had a small housewarming/impromptu birthday party yesterday, so I decided it was worthy of a double crock.

In one pot, I crocked my infamous "Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese". The only difference was that I used regular buffalo sauce instead of Xtra hot.

It was demolished. I guess people liked it. Imagine that.

The guests didn't know it, but I had a dessert in the other pot. Playing hostess, chasing around a toddler, and trying to get in the pool on a sunny 90° day is HARD work!

"Strawberry Raspberry Cobbler (6 quart pot)

The original recipe is HERE. Someone sent me the link awhile ago.

~1 1/4 c flour, divided
~2 T plus 1 c sugar, divided
~1 t baking powder
~1/4 t cinnamon
~1 egg, lightly beaten
~1/4 c milk (I used whole because we keep it in the house for the kiddo.)
~2 T coconut oil (Because we have a ton of it and it says it's good for baking...)
~1/8 t salt
~2 c fresf raspberries
~2 c fresh strawberries (I used strawberries because t'is the season!)
~vanilla ice cream (I bought to go with my other half's birthday cake...and then forgot to serve. Gah!)

In a large bowl, combine 1 c flour, 2 T sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. 
Combine the egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened (batter will be thick). 
Spread batter evenly into greased crock pot. 
In a large bowl, combine the salt and remaining flour and sugar; add berries and toss to coat. 
Spread over batter.
Cover and cook on high 2 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted into cobbler comes out clean. 
Serve with frozen yogurt/ice cream if desired.

8 servings.
I'm so mad at myself for forgetting to serve this. You have no idea. So...by the time we were hungry enough for a sample, it wasn't warm anymore. It was still AMAZING. 

Clearly, we need to have more get togethers so I can get some practice remembering how to play hostess. (It's been awhile.)
