Summertime Blueberry Crisp

My new favorite summertime dessert? This Blueberry Crisp! With blueberries just coming into season, and summer being the prime time to enjoy fresh ice cream…this humble pairing is absolutely outrageous.  It’s just so delicious….you’ve just got to try it!

Watch how Scot Haney & I whip up this crazy good dish on today’s Better Connecticut at 3! (Video of the segment will be posted on the blog in a few days.)

Enjoy! Love, Nora
