Do a little picking up (10 minutes), and put a dessert in the oven, like this .
While it’s baking, tidy up the area where you think your guests will be sitting, set out drinks, clean the bathroom, and you’re ready!
I halved the sugar in my Best Blueberry Cobbler Recipe that I posted a couple of weeks ago.
It turned out great.

My go-to person who explains perfectionism so well is Dr. Brene’ Brown, one of my favorite authors. I’ve read most of her books. Here’s a few of her quotes:
“Perfectionism is, at its core, about trying to earn approval. Most perfectionists grew up being praised for achievement and performance (grades, manners, rule following, people pleasing, appearance, sports).”
“Perfectionism hampers achievement. Perfectionism is correlated with depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis or missed opportunities. The fear of failing, making mistakes, not meeting people’s expectations, and being criticized keeps us outside of the arena where healthy competition and striving unfolds.”
“I remind myself, ‘Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good.’ … The dinner party of take-out Chinese food is better than the elegant dinner that I never host.” –Brene’ Brown, Daring Greatly
Let go of “perfect”! Happy hosting, Friends!

I have fresh picked blackberries in the freezer. Would these work for this recipe? Would I need to do anything like thaw them or could I use them straight from the freezer? What adjustments would I need to make?
