Blueberry and Pear Crisp

This is what happens when you are stuck at home, sick as a dog all week. I am so bored, I decided to whip up a lovely crisp with the fruit I had on hand. I didn't have ice cream or whip cream to make my picture look fancy, but I promise it's still yummy.

2/3 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
2 c. blueberries or 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen blueberries, thawed
1/4 c. sugar
3-5 pears, peeled and cored
1 tbsp. lemon juice

Preheat oven 375 degrees.
Put the blueberries, pears, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice in the bottom of a buttered cake pan or dish.

Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in bowl. Cut butter in dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle topping over fruit and bake for about 30 minutes or until top is golden brown. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream or nothing at all jerks, what do I care.

Wow time flies when you forget you have a food blog...

My beautiful Auntie Shelley gave me this recipe and it is fantastic. It's healthy and delicious and super easy.

1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (depends on how hot you like it)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 fully ripened avocado
1 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin and pepper. Rub on chicken. In large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook, turning occasionally, until no longer pink in the center. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine avocado, tomato, cucumber, onion, cilantro, lime juice and 1/2 tsp of salt. Serve over chicken and enjoy
