Easy Cherry Biscuit Cobbler

Easy Cherry Biscuit Cobbler is a festive and fruity dessert perfect for summer parties! 

Well, it’s official. 

I am in my thirties. 

Yes, I am in my thirties via age. Doesn’t 36 look smashing on me? The thirties I am talking about is my pregnancy age! I’m officially 30 weeks. HOLY SH$T!

This pregnancy has flown by. I am very grateful that I have felt healthy and have been able to continue on a somewhat normal lifestyle. BUT! Hitting 30 weeks has definitely put up a couple of road blocks.

My energy reserves are being used up faster throughout the day. Typically I can manage some work whether cooking or photographing and still have some fuel in the tank. Not so much. If I do any work for more than 4 hours I have to stop, lay down and recharge. Plus, I’m feeling a lot of stretching and the bump is becoming more and more heavy which means my upper/lower back is working overtime. 

The crazy part is that I have 10 more weeks to go! I’m not sure how I am going to survive especially in this heat. Also, we head to Maine this weekend for a week and I am kind of freaking out about my feet swelling. Part of the trip we will be attending a wedding so I purposely bought wide heels. I may look like an ugly step sister squeezing into these shoes, but homegirl here has no choice! 

Besides getting ready for travel, I am having a moment with cherries. Can we dub them the summer gem? Perfectly sweet and great for cocktails, main dishes or desserts. Like this Easy Cherry Biscuit Cobbler. What I love about this dessert is that it comes together in about 30 minutes! Simply add fresh or frozen cherries to a baking dish, top with a super fast biscuit dough and bake. That’s it. 

If you wanted you could swap out the cherries for whatever produce is tickling your fancy. Peaches or any stone fruit would slay in this dish. Now, someone pass me a fork!
