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…

We love the cascade action pacs! We’ve been using them since they came out!
I would probably buy diapers!!
If I won, I would put it towards diapers for my five month old!
I would probably buy a new pie dish. Every time I got to make a yummy pie the dishes are GONE. Not totally sure where they go. 🙂 But with summer coming and blueberry and strawberry pickin’ you can be sure we will need the pie dishes.
I subscribe via e-mail.
I’d buy the suggested products & something cute for my baby daughter.
I really don’t know what I will use the gift card for. Not Cascade because I do not have a dishwasher. I know I will use it in conjunction wilt coupons to make it stretch as far as I can!!
