Blueberry Dutch Baby~


I go blueberry picking every year with some great friends. While I love the fun of the picking, I have to admit that my family doesn't yet have a blueberry LOVE. So we have lots frozen still. I do like making this however. We first made it with my friends two years ago and it's been a blueberry tradition ever since. The recipe came from Tasty Kitchen. I usually just grab a handful of blueberries (maybe a cup) and stick them in. The inside doesn't set up completely, but that's how it's supposed to be. It's great served with powdered sugar!

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup milk
2 whole eggs
2/3 cup flour
1 Tbs sugar
1/2 tsp salt (omit if butter is salted)
1/2 cup blueberries
  • (omit If Butter Is Salted)½

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the butter in a glass pyrex pie plate and put it in the oven. Allow the butter to melt. While the butter is melting, whisk together the milk, eggs, flour, sugar and salt. When the butter has melted, remove the pie plate from the oven. Pour in the batter and then sprinkle it with a healthy handful of berries. Place back into the oven and cook for 25 minutes.

The pancake will be very puffy and beautiful. It will collapse slightly as it cools, so if you want a photo, take one quickly!

Fudge Babies


My friend Eva is visiting this week from California and we've made all kinds of fun/delicious/new to me foods!

This is one of our new finds. They are called fudge babies. Now... hang with me here... they are easy and SO good and GOOD FOR YOU! And... healthy! (stay with me...) Here are the ingredients from this blog

1 cup raw walnuts (120 grams)
1 1/2 cups pitted dates (230 grams)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 Tablespoons cocoa powder

Chop/blend all ingredients in a food processor. Roll into little balls. Makes 24. (ours made 20)

You still with me? We didn't use raw walnuts and for all you nearby, Martins in Warsaw has dates (the whole bag is 230 grams) When you process them they are v. crumbly but they roll together well. We ate a ton plain then got an idea to dip some in coconut- YUM!
