Blueberry Crisp Bars #SundaySupper

On the news this week they said we’ll always remember where we were during the eclipse of 2017.  We’ll reminisce and think of those awesome few hours when no one talked about politics.

So where were you?  Did you see it?  Were you in the path of totality?  Did you sneak out of work for a few minutes just to catch a glimpse?

I had ordered glasses from Amazon in early August.  Then we became super paranoid ours were not good, but we investigated and investigated and investigated some more.  They had the ISO logo and number and were from Lunt.  Plus Amazon was sending emails to those it believed to have purchased phony frames.  And we couldn’t see a thing out of them.

The day of, we were running around photographing pie and getting ready for the M&M Show pop up dinner.  But at eclipse time we dropped everything and headed outside.

Of course, it was rather cloudy.  OF COURSE!  But we persisted and the clouds parted, giving us a glance of the majestic sight.  The sun looked like a crescent moon, which is really something.  We looked several times for fifteen or twenty minutes before heading back inside and watching all the coverage on TV.

I can’t imagine what it would have been like to be plunged into total darkness, but I loved seeing what I did.  It felt special and magical and powerful.  Mom and I both love the moon and stars and sky and we’re hoping it means great things are headed our way.

We also sent three pairs of glasses to work with Dad, and they all went outside and shared as they should have.  Eclipses don’t happen every day.

Neither do Blueberry Crisp Bars.  I absolutely love fruit crisps – they are probably my all-time favorite dessert, especially since I don’t feel bad eating them for breakfast.  SCORE!  But they aren’t exactly portable.

Enter these bars.  They are adapted from a Kitchn recipe that called them granola bars, but these without a doubt taste like a fruit crisp in bar form.  I don’t know how they do it, but that is what they are: blueberry crisp in its most portable form.

Like any crisp, ice cream is optional but highly recommended 😉
