THE ULTIMATE BLUEBERRY CRISP

This is the Mother of all Crisps!! Nope, it’s not Tasty Tuesday but there was no way I could not share my favorite new fruit dessert recipe of the sweet Summa!

I make a good Harvest Spice Peach Crisp and an apple one in the Fall but this Ultimate Blueberry Crisp had me so in love that I made this a couple times. I think the key was the instant tapioca and the hint of orange juice. The fam went crazy for this. I think yours might too. Warm from the oven will have them all hovering over the pan!
Yum

Just look at that melty HEAVEN in a dish!

Amy Ann always sports the CUTEST statement shoes so you will LOVE this post on How to Style Them! We share a major love for kimonos snd This Kimono she styled is one of my all-time favorites! Something else I adore about this Princess is her modesty and love of midi dresses. Just look how angelic she looks in This one! She also has a knack for Styling a piece in several ways!! I thought she was perfect of this summer ice cream edition of Friday Favorites because her colors often remind me of sweet ice cream shop hues!! Adore this Jesus loving mama and style sensation!

2. ICE CREAM of Course

Here’s where the whole ice cream theme came in play some more. I do not generally buy store ice cream unless it’s for pie or Cobbler and I’m spoiled because we have one if the top ten ice cream joints in the country. My second favorite ice cream spot is the Dairy Maid we go to on our vacation. I indulged right and it gave Mr. Nine and I an idea. History Channel are you listening? We should travel the country and commentate on all the ice cream shops. Here’s the damper on our reality show, I’m ready for the camera, Mr. Nine, not so much. Good thought honey, we’ll just stick to our occasional scoops of goodness, lol.

5. Misc. Fun
Speaking of Sunday Funday
Scenes from Sunday Fun Day! We had come back from vacation on Saturday but not wanting to end our family fun time, we headed to a friend’s Lake Home get together. Had a blast. Lots of boating, water volleyball, grub, cocktails, badminton, relaxing and chatting.

I made my Blueberry Crunch Parfait to take and it was a huge hit. Recipe calls for strawberries but this is how I made it for the Bursting with Blueberries contest.

Tiki Toss
Such a cool story about the Tiki Toss game! When we were on vacation as I told you on Monday, The kids played this game at the distillery. They both made ringers and the waitress said she hadn’t seen anybody do that yet. Well, when we got home a birthday package was waiting for Mr. Nine from his little sweet sister. Guess what was inside? TIKI TOSS!! And she didn’t even know we’d been playing it. Perfect addition to the pool area!

Here are the boys playing it on vacay.

BLUEBERRY PEACH CRUMBLE

Mmmm, blueberries, and peaches.... 2 of my favorite things to get at our local fruit stand in the Summer. I often make a fruit crisp with peaches called Harvest Spice Peach Crisp but never have I combined these two marvelous fruits together. The red haven peach crop is at it's peak here right now and something about a juicy peach makes me so happy.

Am I ever tickled I mixed these two fruits because the taste explosion was fantastic. With the brown sugary butter topping and a hint of salt; sooo good! Add a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream and you will be in Summer dessert heaven.

I know my family was!! Me too!!
Yum

Just look at that melty goodness...get in my mouth now crumble!!
