Mrs Mix It’s Pear Blueberry Crumble

 

OK I know that I am supper late on this post, but because I have a giveaway until tomorrow . I kind of hesitated posting something without Aunt Nellie’s goodness but then I thought you have to have a fabulous dessert with a fabulous dinner. So here we go.

 

Pear Blueberry Crumble Ingredients

7 Pears peeled and Chopped

The zest of a lemon about 3 teaspoons

2 cups Blueberries

1 cup flour

1 cup sugar

Mrs Mix It’s Famous Crumble topping

1/4 pound butter (1 Stick)

1 ½ cups Oats

½ cup Brown sugar

3/4 cup gluten free oat flour

 

Equipment

7 or 8 ramekins 4 oz size

Pam Cooking Spray

1 Lined baking sheet with foil or silpat

 

Chop and peel pears, and  rinse blueberries and place in large bowl. Next add sugar and flour and toss until completely coated.

 

Take butter and cut into cubes add flour, oats, and sugar and take off your rings because this involves your hands to mix. Mix and knead until well mixed together it should form clumps of the crumble.

 

Take Ramekins and spray with cooking spray and equally divide the coated pears and blueberries into 7 or 8  ramekins.

 

Next Make Crumble and cover Ramekins with Crumble Topping.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

TIP OF THE DAY   I hold my hand around ramekin when doing this so you do not have a lot of spillage on your baking sheet.

Place in the preheated oven at 350 degrees for 40 min.

 

Let cool for about 20 min. serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Enjoy ! 

Bon Appetite

A Holiday Roast Beef

 

There are many things I love about this time of year, the decorations the food and all of the fabulous Holiday spirit. You know that there is only 54 days until Christmas! I was told that this morning at Mass. I'm like the rest of you the economy is tight and the last thing I want to think about is to go out there and shop. So this meal is great because you will get 3 different meals out of this one roast beef if you play your cards right. Which I plan to post Wednesday and Friday.

A Holiday Roast Beef

1 5-10 pound Roast Beef

5 teaspoons garlic powder

5 Tablespoons Olive Oil some for potatoes some for roast

Salt and Pepper

8 Potatoes pealed and cut

10 -15 potatoes pealed and cut

This is one of my favorite pieces of meat to buy especially during the holidays. I love to make a roast with Oven Roasted potatoes and Oven Roasted Carrots.

TIP OF THE DAY !! The easiest way to cook this is with a meat thermometer. I like the digital ones that you put in the roast prior to cooking. All Clad makes a fabulous one and there are many other company's out there that make them too.

 

Take Meat drizzle with olive oil until completely covered add Salt pepper and garlic powder until evenly coated. 

Next do the same with Potatoes and Carrots (sorry guys I forgot to take a picture of the carrots), toss until evenly coated.

 

Bake in oven covered at 325 until thermometer reads 100 degrees uncover meat and cook until it reaches 145 degrees pull out of oven and serve in 20 minutes.

Bon Appetit!

Enjoy
