Berry Cobbler

If you need an easy dessert for your Memorial Day gathering, consider a berry cobbler.

It can be pulled together in minutes, makes the house smell great and is a breeze to serve —Just drop a portion into a pretty bowl and add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

For some reason, berry cobbler is not a dessert you find at many bakeries or restaurants. It's primarily made at home. Maybe that's why it holds a special place in the hearts of many.
