Memorial Day is a time to remember our military men and women who have given their lives to protect our country and our way of life…a free way of life. Freedom to love, freedom to worship as we see fit, freedom to speak and think.
Thank you to all who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
It is also a time when families and friends gather together for lots of great food and fun…The time marking the beginning of summer.
Many celebrations will include red, white and blue flags, clothing and table decorations.
I always like to serve a blueberry or strawberry dessert, red and blue!
My favorite blueberry cobbler has pecans sprinkled between the layers.
We used fresh picked blueberries from our blueberry farm in Florida.

Notes
I made this in a souffle dish. Turned out perfectly. The pecans and center pie crust give this cobbler a unique twist.By KathyMillerTime
