What for Supper?

I didn't ever get around to pre-planning menus for this week so we're not having anything great to share with you. On Monday G picked ham with Mac 'n Cheese I think all of you know how to make that but if you need directions let me know. Last week I discovered and made a new dessert. It'll hold us over until good fresh berries are in the stores!
Mixed Berry Cobbler
filling:
2 (12oz) bags of frozen mixed berries - thawed
1/4 cup Whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 orange, zest finely grated (about 2 Tbsp) I thought this was a bit much - I'll decrease the zest or may even leave it out next time.
topping:
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp plus 1 tsp sugar (divided)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup lowfat buttermilk
2 Tbsp Canola oil.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large large bowl, toss berries with WW flour, sugar and zest. Pour into baking dish.
In a medium whisk the WW flour, all purpose flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the butter until many small pebble-sized are formed.
In a small bowl whisk together butter milk and oil. Add to the dry mixture until moistened. (may not be all of the liquid)
Do Not over mix.
Drop batter onto the fruit forming 6 mounds.
sprinkle with remain sugar.
bake for 30 minutes, fruit will be bubbly and top golden.
let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
