I’m hanging onto summer for dear life with my new recipe for an OPEN FACE BLUEBERRY PIE!! The combination of cooked and uncooked blueberries makes it the most refreshing sweet treat! Vanilla ice cream optional, but strongly recommended 😊 #loveandfoodforeva
.
Go to my bio for the recipe link!
.
INGREDIENTS
🌿6 cups Blueberries
🌿1 Store bought pie crust
🌿3 Tablespoons Flour plus extra for rolling crust out
🌿1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
🌿1 cup Water divided
🌿2/3 cup Sugar
🌿Zest from 1 lemon
🌿1/2 teaspoon White vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Add a little flour to a clean surface, then roll out the pie crust to make it big enough to fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Leave about a half inch border of crust beyond the edge of the pie dish, then flute the edges with your fingers. Prick the bottom of the pie crust with a fork several times. Refrigerate the pie dish and crust until your oven is ready.
2. Cover the pie crust with a sheet of foil then fill it with something heavy to keep the crust from puffing up (raw rice or beans works well, or pie weights if you have them). Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pie crust edges are golden brown. Take the foil and pie weights out of the pie dish and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the bottom of the crust is golden brown. Put the pie dish onto a cooling rack for at least 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, add the flour, kosher salt and 1/3 cup of water into a bowl and mix together until smooth.
4. In a large saucepan, add 2/3 cup of water, 1 cup blueberries and sugar, and bring to a boil. Add the flour mixture, stir well. Bring the blueberry mixture to a boil, making sure to stir constantly for about 5 minutes until it has thickened. Add the lemon zest, vinegar, and the rest of blueberries, stir to combine, then pour the entire mixture into the pie crust.
5. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, or until the filling is set.

How easy was this CRINKLE TOP BROWNIE by @halfbakedharvest to make? Simple and fast enough that I got it done this morning while my 2 mo old sat in her bouncer and happily watched me before she got bored and started fussing 😂 And btw, it tastes like heaven!! Perfectly crinkly, flaky top with an open gooey center!! I made it with vegan butter and chocolate too 🙌🏼 (Yes, this was my breakfast today.) Highly recommend!

I hope you have a spectacular week, thank you so much for following along!! #lloveandfoodforeva #foodblog

🌿 I started Love & Food ForEva to honor my mom (Eva) who passed away from #ovariancancer in 2006. She was THE best cook.
🌿You’ll find out real quick that I equally love healthy, plant-based recipes as much as I love to indulge in rich, comfort foods!
🌿The little girl in the first pic is my newest babe, Everly Rose (Evie, pronounced ee-vee), almost 3 months old.
🌿The babe in the second photo is my first born, Rowan (who’s 3 yrs old now!). Don’t they look alike?! He’s my rainbow baby, after years of #ttc (trying to conceive). Both my kids are #ivf miracles!
🌿I’ve been married almost 13 years to my best friend, Ryan. We went to the same high school and have been together for 20 years.
🌿Professionally I’m a Finance Director for a consulting company, working in the energy efficiency field.
🌿I believe that God comes first, family second, and everything else comes after.
