RSBC Challenge – Week 4 Wrap Up

Okay this post is very late. I have to apologize to the hostess of this event, Christy over at Balance Food, sorry Christy!
I picked the Superfood Blueberries for our last weeks challenge food and the course was breakfast – I know I know, not very creative!!! I had all intentions of making some crazy blueberry waffles for breakfast or steel cut oats slowly cooked and then loaded up with brown sugar and blueberries or these outrageous blueberry muffins. Then I woke up on Saturdy, started the espresso machine, went to the fridge to grab the milk and the blueberries and they were GONE!! Someone no names being named ate the entire basket of them. We were on to plan B, go out to breakfast with friend from out of town and order something with blueberries – the place we went to did not have any fresh blueberries! So here I am apologizing to our hostess for not only being late on this post but also for being lame with my blueberry breakfast! (I did run 3 times). Now to the round-up …
Trish over at Gluten Free in SLC made a sweet little breakfast treat, a Dutch Baby with Blueberry compote. A Dutch Baby is a large eggy pancake that is baked in the oven. Trish went the extra mile and made it gluten free. She made a beautiful blueberry compote which was flavored with orange juice and zest. Even though she felt her attempt at making a blueberry breakfast treat was a bust, I thought it sounded tasty and looked very good! She has the recipe on her site as well.
Christy over at Balance Food made Blueberry Breakfast Mini Pies. They are adorable. The crust is a granola based crust of oats and brown sugar which she shaped in muffin tins. After they were cooled she filled them with Browns Cream Top Yogurt (which by the way is our favorite) and topped them with a blueberry topping – YUM! Christy has a recipe as well.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this challenge, it was really fun and you all did a GREAT job! Thank you to Christy for asking me to co-host this with you, I had a lot of fun (even though I suddenly got so swamped I am really glad I did it) and really enjoyed it! This is a great event and really helps you jump start your healthy eating habits – I look forward to doing it again next year!
