When the blueberries hit the grocery store I buy them almost everyday, because I am at the grocery store almost everyday. Lucky for me my neighborhood grocery store is small and close and has all the necessary staples. I honestly do not know how much I spend at the grocery store every week, but I am sure it is enough to sustain a small country.
We love fruit at our house so when pears come out in the fall and blueberries come out in the summer I stock up. I make blueberry smoothies, blueberry pancakes, blueberry muffins and blueberry crisps. I prefer crisps over cobblers because I like the crunch the crisp has. And a bowl of blueberry crisp with a big ole scoop of Blue Bell Vanilla ice cream is just about as close to heaven as you can get.
Oh and did I mention it is EASY and will take you about 10 minutes of hand on time.
