Why did my Tuesday rock? Because I spent it helping some hungry fourth graders learn to make Blueberry Crisp! We took a vote between making apple crisp or blueberry crisp, and blueberry won. They were so excited to cook - especially given that only one out of the four of them has an oven at home. The dad informed me that they use it a grand total of once a year! Right...I'm gonna up that number. Next week - chocolate chip cookies! (I'm taking full advantage of their enthusiasm and my new-found access to an oven.)
They did a great job! And it was fun because this was their first exposure to oatmeal. I tried to explain how I eat it for breakfast, but I'm not sure they understood. The mom was shocked at me using 1/3 cup of butter in the mixture.
I'm happy to say that it was a huge success! About 15 people enjoyed some blueberry crisp and ice-cream by the time the night was through. And most got seconds ;)
