We celebrated my husbands 50th birthday over the weekend. I invited about 30 people over and we celebrated in style. We ate, visited, laughed, and ate some more. The weather even held out and we had some sunshine. It was a perfect day with family and friends. Since it was nice for this important event, I guess I can't really complain too much about the dreary weather today ... right? There is something about dreary days though, that cause me to crave comfort food. I have this great recipe for a cobbler that I have added flax meal and whole wheat flour to in order to keep it anti-inflammatory. I have also switched out the butter for light olive oil. It is really delicous and perfect for cloudy, rainy, dreary days. PS....it is pretty good on sunny days as well :)
Berry Crumble
5 cups of a mixture of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon of flax meal
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Crumb Topping
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of quick cooking oats
1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
4 tablespoons of light olive oil
Combine the berries with the brown sugar, flour, flax meal and cinnamon. Toss to coat and place the mixture in a 9X13 baking dish. (Place in an 8X8 baking dish if you prefer a thicker dessert)
To make the crumb topping, combine the brown sugar, oats, flour and cinnamon in a bowl. Add the olive oil and stir until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the fruit mixture. Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Mmmmmm.....yummmy!
