Blueberry Cobbler
As a child, I was a picky eater and this cobbler was especially hard for me to take, since it's sort of an ugly dish. After being threatened with a trip to the doctor for vitamin shots, I did start eating more, and the cobbler turned out to be one of my favorites. It's a classic North Carolina recipe and is one of my mom's signature dishes. It's so simple and takes no time to make.
Coconut Pie
My grandma "Sweet Pea" was considering sharing her persimmon pudding recipe with Epicurious, but was afraid some Yankees wouldn't understand it. This pie is just as sweet though, and very simple to prepare.
