Hey, y’all. 🙂
Hope y’all are well and dry. 🙂
This is a park I pass all the time. It looks like a lake. There’s also a section that’s for pets and the water was so high it washed all the chairs and toys up against a fence.
Good thoughts for everybody suffering from all the floods in the area.
Since we last met…
Well first…
🙂
Ok now that we’ve gotten that out of the way…
Do y’all remember how much I’ve raved about the InstaPot?
I used the InstaPot to make a batch of pintos. This was another pressure cooker hit. Perfect soft creamy beans in about and hour (and a half if you add in the prep time and the time it takes for the pot to pressure up and then down at that end.)
Memorial Day eats.
Celiac smores. 🙂 I mean really? What’s the point of the graham cracker anyway? 😉
Albuquerque’s pot fell off and broke. Pioneer Woman coffee mug to the rescue. This particular mug couldn’t match my kitchen more if it tried.
😉
Now about that blueberry treat. 🙂
Do y’all have some summer fruit you’ve been trying to figure out how to use up?
Meet your solution. 🙂
1 cup softened butter. 1 1/4 cup sugar. Beaten for about 4 minutes.
Add vanilla. 2 eggs. 8oz soft cream cheese.
Beat til smooth.
Add 3 cups flour. I used gfjules of course but this is just a regular recipe and I didn’t adjust anything at all. Just swapped out the flour. 1 heaping tsp baking powder. 1 heaping tsp baking soda. 1/4 cup plus 3 tbsp milk. Beat til combined.
Spread half of mixture into a 9 X 13 pan.
Cover with 1 – 2 cups blueberries.
Top with rest of batter. It’s kind of thick. Spray your spatula with some Pam to help it spread more easily.
Pour 6 tbsp melted butter over batter. THEN (I didn’t get a pic of this but) mix together 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour and cinnamon to taste. Then sprinkle it over the butter. Spread it around so the sugar / flour mixture soaks up the butter but do it gently so it doesn’t start mixing into the batter. You want it to remain it’s own layer so it bakes up kind crispy on top.
Bake at 350* for 35 – 45 minutes. It took 35 minutes in my convection oven.
This is a kinda step-y recipe but trust me it’s worth the work. 🙂
The whole thing was good but the cake part? I already have plans to try it as something completely different. I’ll share if it turns out. 🙂
Ok that’s all for now. See y’all soon. 🙂
