Berry Cobbler (WW Friendly!)

This is a recipe I found off Pinterest on an awesome blog found here: http://livingachangedlife.blogspot.com/2010/04/berry-cobbler.html She has great recipes that are very WW friendly.

Will and I tried it tonight and it was a very good summer guilt-free dessert! We served it with fat free whipped topping, but you can do it with ice cream or whatever sounds good to you. Also you don't have to buy strawberries and peaches, they were just the cheapest at the supermarket at the time. We used lemon flavored cake too (couldnt find white cake mix).

 Cost is relatively low (under $10).

Berry Cobbler
Ingredients:
1-15oz. bag of frozen strawberries
1-15oz. bag of frozen peaches
1-box of Super Moist Betty Crocker Cake Mix (we had lemon, but you can do white or yellow)
1-12oz. can of Sprite Zero (or any other diet lemon-lime soda--fresca might be great!!)

Recipe:

1. In separate bowl mix soda with cake mix until combined.
2. Sprinkle frozen fruit in a 9X13 pyrex pan (grease with cooking spray first)
3. Pour Cake Mixture over fruit and make sure it's evenly distributed
4. Bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes
5. Enjoy!
