Berry Crisp

Frozen blueberries and cranberries were getting a little too comfortable hanging out in our freezer, so we thought it was about time to put them to good use. Since the sugar content is pretty low in this dessert, Vanilla soy ice cream works as a good topper. **We found "Purely Decadent-Dairy Free" to be our favorite brand -- found at Whole Foods , Food Patch in Ferndale and Nutra Foods in Royal Oak.
