My grandfathers, uncles, and my Dad were coal miners in the western part of Virginia and southern West Virginia - hard, honest work for minimal pay. The women in our families worked equally as hard in raising children and keeping house - and making the most wonderful meals out of the simplest ingredients! I have learned from my own cooking experience that the best part of preparing something is in sharing it with others who enjoy it, too. That is the purpose behind this blog: not only to preserve our family recipes, but to share them with others who can use and enjoy them as much as we have. Thanks for stopping by! Cris

Martha's Blueberry Dessert








Martha's Blueberry Dessert

9 x 13  casserole dish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2 cans of Blueberry Pie Filling
1 cup of fresh or frozen Blueberries (optional)
1 can crushed Pineapple
1 box yellow cake mix
2 stick of butter cut into small pats
Small container of Cool Whip for topping


1. In the casserole dish, gently mix together the Blueberry Pie Filling and the crushed Pineapple.

2. Spread dry cake mix evenly over the pie filling and pineapple.  If you want, you can use a fork to gently swirl the filling up into the dry cake mix, being careful to not mix it together.  The cake mix makes a cobbler like topping for the fruit mixture.

3. Evenly spread the butter pieces over the top of the dry cake mix.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes.

5. Allow to cool and then spread the Cool Whip evenly over the top.  Chopped nuts can be sprinkled over the top of the Cool Whip.

Note:  The cake mix gives this dessert a very sweet topping.  You can also do a drop biscuit or a cobbler topping for it that would be a bit less sweet.
