Banana-Blueberry Crisp



My Food Matters Project creation this week - Lemon-Blueberry Crisp -was such a hit that I opted to make a variation for dessert tonight. I had some blueberries and a few bananas that were on the verge of being banana bread-worthy. Is this distinct enough to be it's own recipe? Probably not. Oh, well...

6 T butter, softened, plus more for greasing the pan
3 C organic, fresh blueberries
2 sliced bananas
½ C sliced almonds
½ C organic, dark brown sugar
½ C white whole wheat flour
½ C ground almonds
½ t ground nutmeg
1/2 t ground cinnamon

Butter your baking dish and preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Dust your blueberries in 1 T of flour so that your crisp won't be too watery. Lay them in your dish. Lay sliced bananas on top of the berries.

In a large mixing bowl blend the butter, brown sugar, ground almonds, and spices with a pastry blender to form pea-sized chunks. Add in the sliced almonds. Spoon the mixture over the berries and bananas and bake for 35-40 minutes...until the berries are soft and bubbling. Serve warm.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless.
