Blueberry Maple Crisp

Blueberries with a touch of maple, buttery topping with sliced almonds and a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt.  Great way to start the day with a breakfast bowl.  Or end a delicious meal with dessert.  Use ice cream for the topping if you are feeling indulgent.   Blueberries are a nutritional powerhouse no matter what time you eat them! This crisp comes together quickly but you will have to allow around 40 minutes for baking.  Enough time to prepare the rest of the meal -- and check your text messages.  You can use fresh or frozen berries.  If you have a favorite cast iron skillet (10" size) bake the crisp in it for a rustic flair.  A 9x9 inch pan or 8x11 inch will also work.  The maple honey combination keeps this dessert from being too sweet or overpowered by one flavor.  Out of one?  ...

a Pinch of Joy Chicken with Lemon Garlic Sauce

I was looking for something familiar with a twist to serve for Bytes’ birthday dinner.  Flipping through a stack of recipes I saw Chicken Piccata  Ummm – don’t think so – sounds like directions for playing piano.  When the same recipe popped up again I took another look.  Oh, it’s chicken with a lemon garlic sauce.  I can do that!  Picatta, loosely translated, means zesty.  This dish has a lemon lilt flavored with fullbodied garlic.  Light but definitely zesty, by whatever name you call it.     I had never noticed chicken cutlets in the grocery store before.  However, they were in the freezer in all three of the grocery stores I frequent.  I spend a lot of time reading labels, but not looking at frozen chicken apparently!   A cutlet is about a quarter inch thick up to about half an inch ...
