Blueberry Cobbler & A Giveaway
GIVEAWAY CLOSED
Well, I wouldn’t typically show you such a dirty dish, but the dirtier the better for this post.
My BlogSpark and P&G recently sent me the baking dish and some Cascade Complete All-in-1 Action Pacs to give them a try.
Let me tell you, most everything I buy is store brand. I shop at Aldi’s for groceries, and Walmart for household products. I used the Walmart brand of dishwasher soap, because well…it was cheaper. On a typical day, I do 2 loads of dishes, on a cooking or baking day, I’ve been known to have 5-6 loads, so I try to save where I can. Before I tried the Cascade Action Pacs, I really thought that my dishwasher was not very good, that maybe it was just a bottom of the line dishwasher and didn’t get the job done. I would spend lots of time, pre-washing, rinsing and MOST of the time, re-washing dishes that came out of the dishwasher still dirty. So, I not only was spending more time washing the dishes, but also more money on water and soap.
My challenge was to bake a Blueberry Cobbler, wash the dish and show you the results.
And of course, I couldn’t bake without sharing the recipe…

I just started using the Cascade complete this week. I had always bought a big box of all in 1 tabs of another brand at Sams club, and they were fine, but these are a big difference. I have stopped prescrubbing almost alltogether!
Since I aleady have a pretty big pack, I’d probably just by my 2 yr old something for summer.
