Cherry Biscuit Cobbler, simple

Simple Cherry Biscuit Cobbler is a festive and fruity dessert reliable for summer parties!

Well, it’s official.

We are in our thirties.

Yes, we are in our thirties via age. Doesn’t 36 look smashing on us? The thirties we are talking about is our pregnancy age! We're officially 30 weeks. HOLY SH$T!

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

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

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

Besides getting ready for travel, we are having a moment with cherries. Can we dub them the summer gem? Perfectly sweet and great for cocktails, main dishes or desserts. Like this Simple Cherry Biscuit Cobbler. What we 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 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 us a fork!
