Triple Berry Crunch

Making some lifestyle changes and this is my first attempt at an allergy free dessert. This dessert received a total of 2 thumbs up from everyone in the family.  Definitely a dessert that I would be willing to serve to company or take to a potluck.  Super yummy!

3-4 cups of berries; blueberries, marionberries, blackberries and strawberries
1 tablespoon gluten free flour

Toss together.

Layer in the bottom of a quiche baking dish.

1 cup gluten free flour
3/4 c brown sugar
1/4 to 1/3 cup dairy free, soy free butter

Using a pastry cutter, mix the above three ingredients until the mixture resembles a fine sandy mixture.  Spoon over the top of the berries.

Bake at 350 for around 30 minutes.

I used Namaste Gluten Free Flour that I picked up from Costco.  For the butter I used Earth Balance Soy Free "Butter".

My family has requested that next time I increase the crust so there is more "crunch."  I might also add some almond flour since we are not nut free (for the time being).  Next time I will also be making the crust from a gluten free pancake and waffle mix.

Berry Best Smoothie

Living here in Oregon where berries are plentiful, we seem to always have fresh or freshly frozen berries to use for yummy smoothies.  Because of all the options available now for dairy free milk options and yogurt options even Arthur can enjoy these on a regular basis.

Berry Best Smoothie

1/2 c strawberries
1/2 c blueberries
1/2 c raspberries
1 banana
1/2 c non-dairy yogurt (coconut or goat are our choices)
1 c non-diary milk (coconut, rice or almond are our choices)
1/2 c ice (optional IF all the above fruits are frozen)

Place in a blender and blend until thoroughly mixed and smooth.  :)
