Who doesn’t love fresh peaches and blueberries?! We’re fortunate enough to have a local blueberry farm close by where you can go pick your very own fresh blueberries. The same family owns and runs a local produce shop with fresh local produce, which is great for getting the freshest and tastiest fruits and veggies! It comes in handy when trying to eat healthy, and when that baby-driven sweet tooth craving demands that i bake something! I love desserts, and so if you’ve got to indulge, why not make it a little healthier with some fresh fruit? These bars are amazingly delicious! They taste like pie, which is one of my favorites, but its got a nice crust and crumb topping. Might I add that its way easier to make then pie crust too! This dish is quick and simple to make, and you can use up those wrinkly peaches sitting on your counter…you dont even have to peel them! How easy is that?! LOL This has become one of my new favorites, so I hope you’ll give it a try next time you’re having a dessert craving! Enjoy 🙂
