The blueberries at Eastern Market this weekend were too gorgeous not to bake them into something delicious. I whipped up this easy blueberry cobbler in under 30 minutes thanks to Trader Joe’s refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (you can also use Pillsbury). I’ll get to the recipe in a minute but can we just take a minute to look at these blueberries?!
As much as I’m sure we’d all love to be domestic goddesses who can casually respond while tossing our perfectly coifed hair, “Oh, I baked it from scratch. It was no trouble at all” when asked by a guest where they got XYZ dessert or dish. But let’s be real. For those of us who work 9-5 jobs, the weekends are precious hours to get things done. Grocery shop, pick up dry cleaning, exercise (God forbid), vacuum, and catch up with friends.
Now there are certain dishes I prefer to make from scratch (like this vanilla layer cake) but sometimes, you just need a dessert and it’s gotta be the quick ‘n dirty method. I remember my high school physics teacher telling us young ladies how to calculate something (I clearly paid a lot of attention in that class) and told us to use the quick ‘n dirty method. You just can’t throw out an expression like that to a bunch of 16 year old girls without getting quite a few giggles and scandal-induced deer in the headlights eyes. You just can’t.
But where was I? Oh, right. The recipe:

I am such a cobbler fan, but I’ve never made one before…. This is probably going to be my first! Thank you for sharing 🙂

It’s really easy! I made a cobbler from scratch last summer, here’s the recipe for that: https://bylaurenanne.com/2013/09/peach-cobbler/
I’m surprised, given your love for Trader Joe’s, you didn’t try their crisp recipe! It involves adding melted butter and brown sugar to their granola (pick your favorite) and covering your favorite fruit. I found the printed recipe next to the pecan granola in store. By the time my oven had reached temp, I had assembled the recipe.
I added cinnamon to the topping and tossed peaches in Maker Mark but I can’t resist adding booze to desserts.
This cobbler situation was one of those “Use what you have” situations and what I had was frozen biscuits! I’ll have to take a whirl with the crisp, that sounds delicious.
Oohh I love the idea of tossing the fruit in Maker’s, a woman after my own heart!
