Yesterday I had a BBQ to attend, and was feeling very undermotivated. I looked in the fridge and saw a bunch of strawberries and a mango which desperately needed to be used. Googled strawberry mango recipes and got this at the top of the list:

Strawberry Mango Cobbler

2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced
2 cups fresh mango, peeled and cubed
1 Tbsp. crystallized ginger, chopped
1 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup butter, melted

In a large bowl, combine fruit, ginger, flour, sugars and oats.
Place in a slightly greased 13 x 9 inch-baking pan.
Sprinkle lemon juice and melted butter over cobbler and cook for 40 minutes at 375 degrees.
Allow to cool and serve with ice cream if desired.

What are the odds I'd have crystallized ginger sitting around?  However I was out of oats (I have some of that rough cut stuff that takes forever to cook, but didn't think it would work).  So instead I put in 3 packs of maple brown sugar instant oatmeal.   It worked just fine!

I hate it when I bring something to pot-lucks and it barely gets touched.  But this was a hit from the second I put it down!  There was a side dish contest, and one of the kids in attendance gave me his vote token, even though I wasn't entered.  It was very flattering.  And the whole thing was gone before I left.  Success!
