Peach-Blueberry Crisp

This is one of my all-time favorite warm weather dishes - especially when peaches are in season at the Farmer's Market. The original recipe called for Apricots, but when I saw those fresh peaches staring at me from the bins of the Farmer's Market...it was as if they were calling to me. Peaches and blueberries - such a perfect duo. This can easily be eaten for breakfast (as the original recipe suggested eating it with some yogurt on top - YUM!), or as a dessert! This is a light and fragrant dish with just a little crumble on top, so no worries about feeling weighed down!

Ingredients:
1/2 lb of Peaches, sliced (about 2 cups)
1/2 pint of Blueberries
1 1/2 Tbs Sugar
1 Tbs flour
pinch of nutmeg (I used Pumpkin Pie Spice)

Crumble:
1/2 stick of butter, melted
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup flour
2 Tbs Almonds
3 Tbs sugar
pinch of salt

What to do:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2. Put sliced peaches and blueberries in a 9" baking dish
3. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 Tbs sugar and the pinch of nutmeg
4. Stir in the Tbs flour
5. In a separate bowl, pour the melted butter and sugar in, combine
6. Add a pinch of salt, the oats, the flour, and then the almonds until clumps form
7. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the fruit, and bake for 30-35 mins

Parmesan-Herb Biscuits

Loosely adapted from: Basic Biscuits

This should actually be called "The Most Delicious Biscuits You Will Ever Eat", but due to my need for recipe organization...it isn't. Growing up in the South I knew when I had a hankering for a biscuit, there was only one place to go: Bojangles. Now, if you have no idea what Bojangles is, just know one thing - No other biscuit could ever compare. Waking up this rainy Sunday morning, the biscuit hankerings were looming over my sleepy head. With the nearest Bojangles over 60 miles away (and not knowing any good biscuit places around my apartment), I did what I needed to do to soothe my uncontrollable cravings. I found this recipe online, and adapted it to make it more interesting. Unbelievable. Fluffy, flaky, buttery, delicious. What did I do next? Made an egg biscuit, of course.

Ingredients:
2 c all purpose flour
1 Tbs baking powder
6 Tbs frozen butter
1 ts salt
1 Tbs garlic powder
1 Tbs Italian seasoning
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
3/4 c milk

What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, seasoning and cheese together in a large mixing bowl
3. Using your hands, mix in the 6 individual tablespoons of butter, breaking them apart into pea-shaped bits, and mixing into the flour mixture
4. Add in the milk 1/4 c at a time, lightly mixing with a spatula until a sticky dough forms
5. Spray a baking sheet with non stick spray
6. On a clean surface, roll out (or pat out) the dough mixture into an even layer
7. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut circle shapes in the dough and place each on the baking sheet
8. Bake for 15 minutes
