Kim O’Donnel, a Washington Post Food Journalist (not sure if she would prefer Journalist before or after the Food or doesn’t care), added a couple recipes to her blog for a cobbler topping.
Little did she know that I’ve been trying to AVOID eating things with sugar and refined flours. Unfortunately, The recipes looked damn good and the follow-on comments started up the saliva pumps in high gear. I’ve been going to the farmer’s market regularly and picking up not only vegetables but some tasty peaches and berries.
The last time I came across recipes like this, I ended up making two batches of peach sorbet.
Of course, I immediately started thinking about how I could replace part of the refined flours with whole wheat and possibly cut down on the sugar and fat while retaining some of that flavor.
All this so I can fool myself somewhat that I’m eating healthy.
But it’s FRESH Fruit! It only has a Little sugar! I used Whole Grain Flour! I used Butter instead of nasty refined - I don’t know what’s in them and couldn’t pronounce it anyway - oils! Splenda!
I will admit that Kim tried to make it a little healthier with a few judicial substitutions while trying to stay true to the originals. I’m thinking of more radical changes…..
