Nectarine Berry Crisp
This is truly one of my favorite desserts. It is light, fruity, and self-sufficiently sweet! I am excited every year when the nectarines and berries are ready to dance together in this delicious combination. I am especially excited this year to finally have time to make this too! As some of my readers know, I have been in school for the past 6 months working on a bodywork certification and I am happy to say that I have finally finished! Yay! It has been a tough 6 months both with school and more, and I am glad that at least one part of my life is going to fall into more ease…
I am envisioning more cooking, baking, experimenting…and possibly looking for a job too! I am also hoping for a bit of travel now that I am out of school…Europe? Hmmm. Maybe…
In the meantime, I do want to share this delicious recipe in case anyone else wants to try it.

Berries and Oat Pie
I first became inspired to have a “food blog” after finding some amazing examples online. One of the top examples that I have enjoyed subscribing to is the Fat Free Vegan Kitchen. Her recipes are beautiful and so are her photos. A perfect combination for me. Every so often I would bookmark her recipes for future adventures, and one day I tested out her Blueberry Oat Bars. They look amazing and I was excited by the ease of the recipe and the results were great. I did have a little trouble spreading the top layer of oats, and found the bottom layer a little too soft, so I decided the next time that I would try a different technique to see how it would come out. I have to say that I am pretty happy with the results, and want to thank Susan V. for the beautiful recipe and creative inspiration.
I decided to let the bottom layer of oats cook in the oven for a little while on its own in order to crisp up a little and rolled out the top layer more like a pie crust. Since I didn’t have a square pan, I also ended up making this in a pie plate…and surprisingly turned out quite like a pie. I definitely suggest trying out the recipe yourself, it is quite easy, whether you follow her recipe or my variation, and you could even just make the fruit filling and have it with ice cream, dairy-free ice cream or even fresh cut bananas.
