I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Warm Pear Cobbler

1 spray cooking spray
3 medium pears, peeled and sliced
2 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
2 tsp. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ Tbsp. unpacked brown sugar
½ tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. reduced-calorie margarine
½ cup buttermilk
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Combine pears, 2 Tbsp. brown sugar, 2 tsp. flour, lemon juice and cinnamon in a large bowl; toss to coat pears and pour mixture into prepared baking dish. In a bowl, combine the remaining flour, brown sugar, and baking powder; cut in margarine with a pastry blender, or quickly with your fingertips, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and toss with a fork until flour mixture is moist. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto pear mixture. Bake until crust is lightly browned and fruit is bubbly, about 40 to 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar and cut into 6 pieces. Yields 6 servings, 3 W. W. points per serving.
