Peach Blueberry Crumble

It's been a busy couple of days here in mommyland. My sweet little Elena was going through a growth spurt where she needed extra attention, extra kisses & cuddles, and more of mommy's milk. It was really difficult to see her crying for no apparent reason and there was nothing that I could do. All I can really do is be there for her and help her anyway I can.

Thankfully, we have a bouncer and a cradle swing that keeps her entertained. This mommy needed a little bit of cooking therapy to help ease away the mommy woes. I had just enough time to prep this easy to prepare peach blueberry crumble for dinner which really took less than 10 minutes to prep. Peaches are in season right now, and I have been using them in all my dishes. My irresistible slow cooked pork with peach BBQ sauce, and refreshing peach lemonade and now this scrumptious peach blueberry crumble.

With the insane heat waves we are experiencing right now, you might be reluctant to turn the oven on for anything. However, you might be willingly to break a sweat just for a tiny bit to indulge in this fabulous sweet treat. The sweet peaches combined with the tart blueberries make for a fantastic summery dessert. This peach blueberry crumble totally made me forget my mommy woes and blissfully happy for summer days.

Happy Monday! 

Quick Update: I'm so excited to update you on a new feature here at Mrs. Regueiro's Plate. You might have noticed that there is a Save Recipe button to each recipe post, making your and my life easier! You can save your favorite recipes to your own personal recipe boxes, along with any other recipes you might come across the bloggy-sphere. There's an awesome app that I've been using that allows you to save the ingredients right into your own online shopping list with a simple click of the button.

I have teamed up with ZipList to make this happen! 

WHAT IS ZIPLIST?
ZipList is a free online recipe box. They have free mobile apps, or you can use their website. You can access your recipe box from your phone or computer any time you want.


HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once you have signed up for a ZipList account (totally free), anytime you hit this little "save" button on M.R.P. from now on, the recipe will be saved to your ZipList recipe box, and the ingredients will be added to your grocery list. Freaking. Awesome. If you already have certain ingredients, you can easily remove some items, or change the quantities of others.


ZipList partners with tons of food sites across the web, including Martha Stewart, Woman's Day, and The Daily Meal.

I'm all about simplifying and making life easier, and believe me this little feature keeps me organized with all my grocery shopping needs. I have been trying to stick to a budget, and using this feature has saved me tons of time and money. It groups the ingredients together in the grocery section that you would most likely find that item. Sometimes when you are shopping with a 2 month year old, and you only have 20 minutes to shop - you need to be fast on your feet to grab all those grocery needs. Plus, I can't tell you how many times I have forgotten an item on my grocery list because it was on the other side of the store and I was already in the check-out line. 

Use it. ZipList your favorite recipes. I can't wait to hear how you like this new feature! 

Now back to this fantastic recipe that you should totally make for the Fourth of July. I was cleaning out my freezer, and checking out my frozen meat supply which consisted of chicken breasts/tenderloins/thighs, ground beef, and 2 or 3 bags of pork shoulder that I needed to use up. I do not use my my slow cooker/crock pot enough these days, and it always saves me precious time in the kitchen so I can tend to Elena and my other household duties. This quick to prepare recipe uses a couple pantry items and my favorite fruit of the season right now, peaches. Peaches and pork go together like summer and fun. Make my peach lemonade to complete the meal!

Scrumptious and summer-y!

Peach Lemonade

Summer vacations. Sunny days. Warm nights. Sleeping in. Root beer floats. BBQ anything. Baseball games. Flip flops. This is pretty much why I love summer. Plus, I love this summer even more so since I'm on my maternity leave. 

One of the biggest cravings that I had during my pregnancy was lemonade. I had drank water by the gallons and there's so much water that a pregnant gal can enjoy without wanting something else. Lemonade had become my best friend and was my go-to indulgent refreshment since my other vices were on the do-not drink list.

During the summertime, I love making batches of strawberry lemonade, Mexican Limeade, lemonade and the occasional Tinto de verano. I'm always finding ways to use up my Meyer lemons with all the 'ades. You can say that we love all things fruity and refreshing, which is why I had to make a batch of this peach lemonade. This is easy to prepare and great for entertaining - you might want to double up the batch so you have plenty to share.

Peaches are in season right now and this is a fabulous way to enjoy the summer's nectar in a glass.
