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’ll probably buy the ingredients for the Blueberry Cobbler with the gift card if I win (or even without it).
I’ve never made cobbler before, but you’ve shown me how, so I might just do it! I love blueberry and peach cobblers! Yum!!

Hi Liz, I’m not thrilled with my dishwasher either and it’s a Bosch, expensive and supposed to be very good. I also use the soap that I can get inexpensively so maybe Cascade would do a better job I’ll try it with the $25.
