Impossibly Easy Mixed Berry Crumble from Bisquick

Mixed Berry Crumble

My DP Dave can be difficult to please because he's a former professional cook. He's not afraid to offer praise and criticism when it comes to a new dish. This is one of the few that only got one response: a moan of pleasure and an empty plate.  This is the beauty of impossibly easy pies from Bisquick. An internet search will give you many choices. 

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

Streusel: 

 1/2 cup Bisquick

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup chopped nuts

2 Tablespoons cold butter or margarine

***

Pie Filling: 

1 12-oz bag frozen mixed berries

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

***

The Magic of Impossible Pies:

1/4 cup Bisquick

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup milk

1 Tablespoon butter

2 eggs


METHOD

1. Mix the streusel in a small bowl and set aside. Heat oven to 325F. 

2. While the original recipe calls for a pie pan or 8x8 baking dish, I recommend muffin tins. Spray your chosen baking dish with cooking spray. 

3. Mix the berries, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Arrange in baking dish, spreading around as equally as possible. 

3. In a blender, mix the 1/4 cup Bisquick, sugar, milk, butter, and eggs. Blend until combined. You may have to scrape the sides of your blender carafe. Pour over top of the berries. Sprinkle with the streusel. 

4. Bake at 325F up to one hour, depending on your choice of baking pan. Muffins will cook faster than a single baking dish. It's done when the crust turns golden. 

Notes:

1. Note this recipe has three stages: Streusel, Filling, and Impossible Pie mix. It's worth the extra bother. 

2. While this crumble is delightful on its own, a good dollop of Cool Whip makes it even better.

Forgiving Myself and Literally Moving On

Okay, I confess. You haven't seen much of me lately because I've been naughty. I fell off the wagon and piled on ten pounds. Could I blame stress? Yeah, but the point is that no one put a gun to my head and made me eat more carbs. I did it. I think the point is to forgive myself and get back on the bandwagon. There will be days like today (Thanksgiving) where I'll indulge. However, I can say no to certain things like mashed potatoes and dressing and say yes to things like more turkey. I had just a sliver of pumpkin pie instead of pigging out. For me, total denial means I get resentful and eventually defiant. Giving in to a little and having what I want in reasonable portions means I avoid a self-hating binge in secret later. So, now I have to come up with strategies to increase my calorie burn when I can't control what I eat. That means increasing my exercise. That's as easy as getting out of the chair. I can take a walk or dance to my MP3 player. I can do a lot of ...

Is Humiliation Part of the Treatment?

Just how much humiliation am I supposed to take? Today was a group session at the surgeon’s. You know what I learned? What an ass one of the surgeons is. That’s it. After the weigh in, in which I gained a whole half-pound, we had the usual and repetitive lecture on how important it is we shrink our livers. I was feeling pretty good about my weight, actually. I’d had a full bladder and heavy winter clothing on, but the scale said only half a pound. I could live with that. I knew also I’d had a few too many macadamia nuts over the past few days and vowed to cut them out. Finally, the surgeon appeared. He was as handsome as rumor had claimed. I had a hard time understanding his accent, since he was from South Africa. The Afrikaners I’ve known can seem to mumble a bit to our American ears. I’d had an Afrikaner teacher back in real estate school and I’d adored him, so I was prepared to like the surgeon, Dr. Cywes. How wrong I was. After introducing himself and matching faces to files, he im...
