You might be a little surprised by the presence of this post, as I should be on the road headed east right about now, but nope… I’m still here! I’ve delayed my departure ‘til tomorrow. Unfortunately, that means a shorter turn around between Chico + Chicago, but there are still a few unfinished jobs to be done.
Last night I made dinner for my parents, as I thought it would be my last meal at home for the summer. In doing so, I crossed off two more items from my list*.
To make/bake before Monday Tuesday:
- Blueberry Peach Crisp *
- Cookies
- Granola
- Mama Pea’s Tofu *
- Pesto
I made Mama Pea’s Honey Lime Tofu + Strawberry Peach Salsa recipe to the T. My parents were a bit surprised to see strawberries on top of their savory tofu, but no one left any leftovers.
The peachiness continued moments later as I served them Peach Blueberry Crisp for dessert.
Peach Blueberry Crisp II
[original recipe @ Health on the Run]
Filling
- 6-7 large peaches, peeled
- 1 – 1 1/2 c. blueberries
- 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 3 T pure cane sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Topping
- 3/4 c. rolled oats
- 1/4 c. whole wheat flour
- 1/3 c. brown sugar
- 1/3 c. unsweetened coconut
- 6 T unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Cut peaches into large chunks and place in a mixing bowl with blueberries. Add flour, sugar, and vanilla; toss gently. Place into a deep baking dish of some nature.
In a smaller bowl, mix together topping ingredients, distributing the butter evenly. Place on top of fruit mixture. Bake @ 350* for 45-50 minutes until browned and bubbly.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. We ate it a la carte tonight; the ice cream wasn’t missed.
SO much to do today it’s scary! I can’t believe the week of HLS is actually here! I’ve got my usual pre-travel butterflies.
Later…

I’m a blue type of gal, all the way. Mostly the lighter to medium tones, but hey, I’ll take a dark blue as well.
Crisp all the way.

I love pink and orange together! My favorite color right now is green and pink.
I can’t believe HLS week is finally here too. That crisp looks like a delicious summer treat.

My favorite color is purple all the way!
Do you live in Chico? I am moving from San Diego to Oregon in 3 weeks and we are spending the night at a hotel in Chico on the 30th. Would you be interested in a blogger meetup?
That would be fun! : )
Cobbler or Crisp…it’s all good.
I love any hot dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Crisp, cobbler, pie, anything. The hot-cold combo is unbeatable.
Just wait ’til you see today’s breakfast ; )
Your crisp looks awesome!! I love the dish you put it in, too…so pretty. :) As you may have guessed, I’m definitely a crisp sort of girl. I love the crunchiness.
