easy berry cobbler.

I tried to make mine the healthiest way possible.

4 tbsp. earth balance 

(organic buttery spread)

2 cups Bisquick

1 cup sugar

1 cup organic soy milk

1 package each of:

blueberries

strawberries

& raspberries

Heat oven to 375°

_____________

Melt butter separately & pour in the bottom of 9x13 inch pan.

Mix together Bisquick, sugar & milk

Pour over melted better.

Cut up fruit & spoon over.

Bake for 30 minutes are 375°

So easy and really good.

I might try to use less better & less sugar next time.

Just to see if it's still as good.

I recently came across a photo (above) of some scrumptious looking red velvet brownies on pinterest... 

more specifically...

Red Velvet Brownies with White Chocolate Buttercream

recipe via smells like HOME.

They looked so delicious that I was inspired to make my own, 

except I searched for a recipe with a box mix base. 

I barely have time for baking right now, so fast & easy is pretty important!

The recipe I tested out can be found at Duncan Hines. 

Super easy... but not so much the brownie consistency I was expecting. 

Ingredients

1 Duncan Hines box of Red Velvet Cake mix

3/4 cup butter (melted) - that's a stick and a half!!!

1 egg

1/2 cup water

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Frosting

1 can of buttercream frosting (or whatever looks good)

Baking Instructions

-preheat oven to 325 degrees F

-mix egg, butter & water in a bowl. add box mix & 

stir until everything is combined, and lumps are gone.

-add chips into the mix & pour the mixture 

into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan

-bake for 40-45 minutes. let cool.

-frost them up & eat!

In my bakers opinion, this recipe was definitely good, for a 

rich, red velvet, chocolate cake recipe... 

but the consistency was certainly not a brownie-esque.

It was actually more crumbly & messy then I had anticipated. 

None-the-less, it was delicious! just not as I expected.

Next time I'll take the long route and go from scratch, 

or just follow the recipe on the box as-is and make a super simple.
