Cobbler Tuesday

Hey everyone!

Today I have finally finished my seventh and last day of behind-the-wheel. I will be on the roads, licensed in under 20 days! Its crazy for me to even think about that, I remember when I was younger feeling like driving was so far away.

In celebration of this (but not really), today I am making my favorite Mixed Berry Cobbler. The recipe is from an old issue of "Bon Appétit", which you can find it online here. My cobbler never ends up quite as pretty as the magazine's, but it honestly tastes amazing. I use all of the kinds of berries my local grocery store has to offer: blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. The biscuit topping never is as dough-like as they make it seem, but it will harden up when you cook it! I love to eat my cobbler with a huge scoop of vanilla or strawberry ice cream. I end up eating practically the whole thing by myself over the course of about two weeks! I put it in the microwave to get it warm, then add the ice cream and grab a spoon and I am all ready to go!

Final Product

On another note, so excited that Pretty Little Liars is back on tonight! The show seriously creeps me out. I am on edge the entire time I watch it. I am the same way with my other favorite non-reality show, Teen Wolf. The guys from Teen Wolf are drop dead gorgeous!

And talking about drop dead hot, muscular men, my favorite reality show, The Bachelorette! I really liked the current bachelorette, Desiree, during the beginning of Sean's season, but by the end I was not sad to see her go. During the Bachelorette, however, she has really grown on me! My favorite guys are Chris, Brooks, and Juan Pablo (I love foreign guys! Swoon...). Last season for the Bachelor, I found out who would win Sean's heart through Reality Steve. Just Google his name to find his blog, where he will "predict" who will be the final men, and who will become engaged to Desiree. His predictions are always right, so if you like to know what will happen, head over there. This season I am going to just watch and see.

This Thursday I am heading to Duck, NC for a quick "vay-cay"with one of my best friends. On Monday I am heading to Williamsburg, VA for a tour of the College of William and Mary. 18++ people in my family have gone there, and right now it is at the top of my list, along with Davidson, Washington and Lee, and Wake Forest. There will be more coming on that front, soon.

XOXOXO,

Update

Hello everyone!

I hope that everyone's summers are going well. I have been really busy, in the weird kind of way where you should have a lot of time, but little things keep making you busy. Does that make any sense at all?

First off... has anyone heard of Bluebell Ice Cream? It is amazing. AH-mazing.

It was recently introduced to the market in my area, and was originally only available in Texas. Literally every person I talk to has brought it up in our conversation, it's just that good. The best flavors are Homemade Vanilla, Chocolate, Cookies-And-Cream, Strawberries & Homemade-Vanilla (My new favorite! It is what it sounds like, their homemade-vanilla ice cream with strawberries mixed in), and Key Lime Pie. You can buy them half gallon size, which you can barely find anywhere anymore. If you see it in the grocery store, I highly encourage you pick up some, even if you are a die hard Breyers (PET, Edy's, Ben & Jerry's, ect.) fan. You will not regret it!

Secondly, I have just pre-ordered my first Lilly Pulitzer Agenda. A few girls from my school have had them (which I have lusted over), and they gave them great reviews. I use the planner my school gives me religiously, but it is too poorly made and too small.

My favorite Lilly print from this summer (and probably of all time) is "Let's Cha Cha". Lilly does make Agendas in that print, but not in the Jumbo size I needed. So, I compromised by getting another great pint, "Tropical Pink Lulu". I can't wait for it to arrive next month.

I am also looking for a new North Face backpack. I currently own the Vault, but it has a huge rip on the top, so I am thinking about upgrading to the Womens' Jester in black. I like how it has side pockets for water bottles, which the Vault does not have.

I am also in the process of refreshing my wardrobe and cleaning my room. Quite a hard task if you ask me! I have a love hate relationship with cleaning. Today I was in the mood, but who knows what tomorrow will bring!

XOXOXO,

Kelsey
