Did someone say cobbler?!

When you find yourself in a produce aisle this weekend, do yourself a favor and buy some peaches. And some lemons. And some raspberries, strawberries, and cherries. It's summer and that means it's time to stock up on seasonal fruit. You’ll put them all to good use baking up a juicy storm of fruity cakes, cobblers and bars all summer long. Just don’t forget the cardinal rule — seconds are a must!
