Welcome to my kitchen!

My love of cooking started when I was 11 years old. For my 12th birthday my Aunt gave me a cookbook. Breakfast has always been my favorite meal, so with that the first meal I ever made was cinnamon french toast with maple butter. It was a huge success and I have been cooking ever since. With this blog I hope to share my love of cooking by publishing recipes that I have tweeked and experimented with as well as recipes that have been in my family for centuries.

Crisps, simple yet versatile!

Blueberry Crisp a la Mode


Yield: 8 servings


I absolutely love crisps! They are simple to make and extrememly versatile. You can basically make them in every season. I particulary love berries, but as we all know berries can be very expensive so I usually stick with blueberries, this way if I have extra I can make them in pancakes the next morning or add them to a salad.



Ingredients

6 cups blueberries

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup regular oats

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 1/2 tablespoons chilled butter or stick margarine, cut into small pieces

2 cups vanilla low-fat ice cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°.



Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl; spoon into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine 2/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon, and cut in the butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle over the blueberry mixture. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Top each serving with 1/4 cup frozen yogurt.



Note: Topping may also be made in the food processor. Place 2/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon in a food processor, and pulse 2 times or until combined. Add butter; pulse 4 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal.
