Yes, it’s Friday, and this calls for a gluten-free Sunday brunch recipe! Yesterday I was at Whole Foods supermarket and saw these beautiful organic sweet strawberries, and they were on sale. Can you believe it? This time of the year buying such beautiful fresh organic strawberries and on sale…wow! So this is how I ended up making skillet strawberry cobbler. I wanted to try something new besides just a cobbler. So I thought why not make cinnamon cream cheese biscuits to go with the cobbler. What’s the worst that can happen? I will end up eating it all..haha. I must say I even surprised myself, this is the best gluten-free cobbler I have ever had. Since the strawberries were perfectly ripe and sweet, I did not have to add too much sweetener, and the biscuits tasted like a mix of cheesecake and a muffin. Gosh, it was sooo good! Adding cinnamon to the cream cheese tied everything together beautifully. You can’t go wrong mixing strawberries and cinnamon. The biscuits soaked up the delicious strawberry sauce, and the cinnamon cream cheese just melted right in with the strawberries. Hungry yet?

Although I made this recipe for Sunday brunch, the leftovers were devoured the same day with vanilla ice cream for dessert. I was already asked to make it for next Sunday. Do you want to hear a funny thing? My family always says, “we love your cooking”, but we rarely get to eat the same dish twice. Yes, it is true, I love creating recipes, and I rarely make the same recipe twice, except for soups. I must admit, I love soups, so there is always soup at our house. Hope you enjoy this skillet strawberry cobbler with cinnamon cream cheese biscuits as much as my family did.
