secret recipe club: blueberry peach crisp

after picking pounds and pounds of blueberries last week, it's been my mission to find great ways to eat them up. this peach blackberry crisp from sara at cupcake muffin caught my eye, but i combined  peaches, one of my all time favorites, with my freshly picked blueberries into one of the easiest and tastiest summer time desserts. while most people eat their crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a big dollop of vanilla greek yogurt is great for breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack.

sara is a grad student at berkeley and has amassed a ton of delicious looking recipes since she first began blogging in 2007. at first i didn't think 2007 sounded like all that long ago - a mere five years - until i realized how dramatically different my life was then. i had just started dating my now husband, i lived alone for the second year in my downtown apartment, my first car was about to die, and my current visions of diapers and house painters weren't even in my peripheral vision yet. it's amazing what a difference five little years can make.
