Peach Blueberry Crumble



Ingredients:
3 large peaches, sliced
6 oz of blueberries
1/2 cup of butter, cubed & cold
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of flour
1/2 cup of oatmeal

Process:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine peaches & blueberries. If you must, you can add a bit of sugar, maybe no more than a 1/4 cup. Set aside.


Put the brown sugar, flour, and oatmeal into a bowl, mix together.


Add the cubed, cold butter.


Use a pastry cutter to combine the butter with the dry ingredients (Or use your hands, like I did).


Gently spread the oatmeal mixture over the fruit.



Bake for ~30 minutes, or until the top is crunchy and to your liking.

Salad Dressing Hack

I watch The Kitchen on Food Network, where I saw this recipe for Goat Cheese and Blackberry Vinagrette.

It looked to be more work than I am willing to put in for a salad (after all, I just started eating salad sort of regularly), so I hacked it:

1 tablespoon of crumbled goat cheese + 2 tablespoons of lite raspberry vinagrette = dressing for a few baby spinach leaves.

A few notes:
  • I've only made this once, but I will likely do it again before the end of the week
  • I didn't use a whisk because I didn’t want to wash it (lazy alert)
  • I didn't leave the goat cheese in very crumbly, but instead mashed it a bit as I whipped with a spoon
  • According to the bottle, 2 tablespoons is a 1 serving of salad dressing

All in all, it was yummers.
