Purple Fruit Crisp


I am having very special company today, my grandson, his wife and their darling son.  Since they are not local, I am not sure what they like to eat so we are having  a barbecue and I made this crisp plus chocolate chip cookies for dessert.  Of course, I didn't have enough blueberries so I added cherries and plums, shades of blues and reds, thus my purple fruit crisp. 

 I made another crisp, the other day, which I plan to blog in My Sweet and Savory that had the left over fruit in the house and it more of a variety than this one.  It was scrumptious.  Since this one is has not yet been tasted, I can't comment yet.

 The recipe comes from a book I love, 9 x 13 The Pan That Can .  It is put out by Better Homes and Gardens so I decided to look it up online and sure enough, under BH&G, I found it all printed out for me.   The changes I made was subbing the fruit and using Hazelnut oil in place of butter.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
