quick 'n easy

Now that the holidays are upon us, I decided to resurrect the good ole' cherry crisp recipe.

In my opinion, it's as easy as making brownies from a box. It requires barely any effort and yet its warm ooey gooey goodness will make people think you put in all this effort.

Just 4 ingredients required.


Pour two cans of cherries into pyrex.


Look how festive the red cherries look! Perfect for a Christmas dessert.


Sprinkle evenly 1 tsp of cinnamon.


Heap a mountain of cake mix on top.


Make little indents.


Drizzle melted butter into indents. I had some red goo left in the cans that I poured on too. Don't want to waste;)


At this point the kids came running in from outdoors and starting hovering. "Ooohh, this looks so yummy!" they exclaimed.

"It's yucky", I told them. "It has {canned} cherries. It's not for you guys. It's for bible study tonight".

"Oh but we love canned cherries", they insisted. Whatevs. As a kid, I would not have been a fan.

Little Blue had to make her inspections. This is the funniest, most entertaining kitty ever. She's our little Lynx. She loves to bat and chase legos all over the floor like a wild leaping mashugana.


And after being cooked for 45 minutes.


All in a days work.
I served it tonight with ice cream at small group. Everyone loved it and kept thanking me. And it was so easy!
