Amanda from Like Sprinkles on a Cupcake selected ….Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler on page 415, for this weeks TWD.
I grew up with a rhubarb plant in our backyard. I can't say I ever grew to like it. I decided to still give it a try and use the rhubarb in this recipe. After looking at a few places, and not finding any, I thought what the heck I guess I can't use it. I got on TWD blog and read several others could not find rhubarb either. I also read some were using different fruits like apples and blueberries.
I went with just plain cherries. My husband loves them and I knew he wouldn't eat it if I added some other fruit to it. He does not care to blend his flavors. I did not want to get stuck eating the entire pan alone. So cherries rule in my dish!
I really liked how the dough turned out for the topping. I just made it the old fashioned way, by hand. I did not use a square pan, instead I used my round stone pan. I was pleased with the way the cobbler looked, but it did not taste all that great. I took it to a dessert pot luck , a girl was talking to my daughter and told her this stuff (the cobbler)is nasty(not knowing I made it=). A good lesson for my 14 year old daughter..Don't tell someone the food is nasty, they may have made it!

Isn't it amazing how much the biscuits spread?
I hope you have better luck with next week.. no cherry or rhubarb! Your cobbler still looks great.

I'm sorry you didn't like it ~ your photos look great :)
I'm sorry to hear they were reviewed as 'nasty' - it LOOKS nice, if that counts for anything.
What a sweet post about your children below. I love that your daughter drew the header for your blog. It sounds like life is good, even if the cobbler isn't exactly what you wanted it to be.:)
It does look good, sorry it you didn't enjoy it.
Thanks Michelle :) Sorry you didn't like the cobbler, but it looks awesome :) Can't wait to read your next TWD entry.
Oh no! Well, the cobbler still looks beautiful! What did you think about the topping? I loved it and can not wait to try it again. Your pictures are looking great Michelle. . .and you are blogging like a pro already. I am so sorry I haven't gotten to write recently but Ashley is keeping me hopping. . .unfortunately =|. Hugs my dear friend
Looks delicious! Too bad it wasn't your favorite, that is part of the fun of this group, I think, to find out what you really like.
Welcome to TWD!!! I love the idea of all cherries! Great job.
It looks great, but I'm sorry you didn't like it!
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. Sounds like we had similar reactions to the recipe. I'm looking forward to next weeks recipe.
I guess the topping is an acquired taste, but I thought it was heavenly! Sorry to hear yours wasn't a hit!
Sorry to hear you didn't like it, i wasn't crazy about mine either. I did like the topping though. Hopefully you'll like next week's recipe :)
Cobbler teaches lessons in manners. What a rude person! Oh well. Can't please them all. Cobblers looks awesome. Great job!

sorry it didn't work out, i heard from others that cherries don't have much flavor when baked so i went a little crazy with cinnamon and vanilla and almond in the mixins! looks great though, good you tried it!
Sorry this one wasn't a keeper for you. An unfortunate way for your daughter to learn a lesson, but a good one to learn!
Your cobbler looks wonderful and I wouldn't want to get stuck eating a whole pan either...not that my daughter and her friend would have allowed a whole pan to sit idely by anyways lol.
You did a great job and I look forward to your post next week.
Well looks could have fooled me...it sure looked yummy!
