Blueberry Cherry Buckle

The other day, while I was wondering thru the fabulous-ness that is Costco (or as my family reforest to it the $100 club, because you cant get out of there with out spending $100)…my daughter saw the produce walk-in fridge area and the beautiful blueberries and strawberries they had.

She HAD to have them. She eats strawberries and blueberries daily.

And how do you say no to your kids regarding fruit….”NO, you cant have fruit.”  Just don’t think I can say that.

So they made it into our cart.

What am I going to do with all these blueberries before they go bad. The strawberries, I’m not so worried about.

So while her and I dug into some of them, we only made a small dent.

I have been adding blueberries into everything. Brown Sugar Blueberry Mojito anyone?

We made Blueberry pancakes, Blueberry Applesauce Muffins (coming soon) and this……

I love this because it is easy and you can make early in the day and have it ready for evening/dessert/whenever I walk by.

Not to mention the fabulous smell that will fill your house.

Serve it nice and warm.

This is wonderful with some ice cream.

You can serve it on a plate, like a civilized person….or, or, or….how I like to do it.

Take a large towel and wrap it around the crock pot, so you don’t burn yourself. Grab a spoon. Sit on the couch and dive in.

It has oatmeal so you need not feel guilt.
