Berry cookie bars

First off, yay for Heather, so happy to have you apart of our blog. And just so you know describing what you ate even if someone else made it is totally ok. Also, believe it or not, I am open to learning how to utilize convenience items mixed with fresh meat and veggies. Some days I cannot bear to be in the kitchen or I have no idea what to make, so it would be nice to have a quick trick with a few of your favorite products.

Anyway, I was searching around on Smitten Kitchen and ran across a blueberry cookie bar. I was gonna post a picture but we ate them too fast. They are really easy, Tony and I made them in about 20 minutes. I used a mix of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries, because that's what was on sale and we substituted lime juice for lemon juice. Basically you combine, flour, sugar, salt, and lime zest and cut in cold butter. Place half the mix on the bottom, then top with sugar, cornstarch, and berry mix, and the other half of the crumble. I think if you mixed in some rolled oats to the top half it could pass as a breakfast bar. (I ate 2 giant squares with coffee) 
This isn't a new idea but I keep thinking about this ice cream flavor. Homemade vanilla ice cream with Nutella ribbons and then crumble those Ferrer Rocher chocolates. Gonna go freeze the ice cream bowl!!
