Today, I'm indulging- with a different kind of throwback...
Every now and then while browsing online, I see a great quick recipe idea that's hardly even a recipe. I think to myself, why didn't I think of that? And then I fail to remember the simple take two or three ingredients, do this or that to them, and poof! On a walk through the grocery section of Target last weekend, I actually remembered. I usually shop groceries at Target when I need other Target items and I don't want another trip out to the store. But the cool thing is they often has some unique products I don't see in other places. This time I saw a line of products made from small farm ingredients. I was intrigued as I scanned the small section of shelf space. Rather than being shelved with like products (pasta sauce in the sauce aisle, salad dressing in the dressing aisle, etc.), this whole line of products was shelved together.
Here is the one that caught my attention:
I thought of my mom and how much she loves blueberry pie! And then, somehow I actually remembered one of the quick recipes. With this product it would be a two ingredient "recipe." I got home and rolled out some refrigerated pie crust, cut out circles using a mid-sized bowl as a cookie cutter. Put two teaspoons of blueberry filling, and folded over the circle into a half moon. I sealed the edges with a fork and poked two slits with a sharp knife, in each one. (Okay, I lied. There are three more ingredients, but most people already have them in their houses.) I lightly beat an egg with a tablespoon of milk and brushed each of the half moons. Finally I sprinkled a bit of raw sugar over each one, and baked them for 15 minutes.
Voila! My #tbt was making blueberry hand pies, and they were much better than the old school hostess hand pies or the ones they used to have at McDonald's. And the filling was spectacular!
