Baking with Blueberries

This weekend, I decided to tackle another item from my to-do list.  I had a couple of pints of blueberries in my fridge, some ramekins in my cupboards ... hmmmm .. individual blueberry crisps?  :)  I bought the ramekins for a reason and that was to make fruit crisps with them.  So tonight, I made two individual blueberry crisps.  They turned out pretty good - not bad for my first time.  I made a pretty thick layer of crumble topping because I find that sometimes I have too much fruit and not enough crumble.  The unfortunate part was that there is no ice cream in the fridge!!  :(  What is blueberry crisp without vanilla ice cream?  Oh well .. maybe tomorrow I'll pick some up.

The crisps inspired me to make big blueberry muffins for tomorrow morning's breakfast.  :)  They turned out very good too.  Very easy to make.  Baking is starting to become a hobby of mine.  Actually cooking in general is something I really enjoy now.

My Breville Smart Oven is like an Easy Bake Oven for grown ups.  When I bought it, I knew I would make use of it.  I've used it to make everything:  toast, pizza, chicken, ribs, salmon, muffins, cakes, cupcakes, and now crisps.  This thing is one of the best countertop ovens out there.  I am glad I bought it.

I have to start thinking about tomorrow's dinner/Monday's lunch.  I always make more so I have a lunch for work on Monday.  I am limited to non-seafood proteins when I have to pack a lunch.  There is a fellow at work who is highly allergic to fish.  He sits in the office across from me and apparently, the smell of fish would cause anaphylaxic shock.  :-O

Hmm .. I have beef tenderloin, ribs, and chicken in the fridge?  Hmm .. maybe I'll make barbequed ribs.  Yummmy.
