Basically, there are only two of us in the house now. I say basically, because my 18 year old son is still at home, but he isn’t always here for meals, so often I cook for just us two. Not easy moving from cooking for three or four (or five cause he IS 18) to just cooking for two. Desserts are especially hard because I like them gone in a day or two. Downsizing is the answer, unless you can find a smaller version recipe. There is one magazine out there that is quite helpful – Taste of Home’s Cooking for One or Two - which is where I found this recipe.

I like blueberries, but I don’t really love them, so I substituted sauteed apples and mixed in a few blueberries. It would have been really tasty warm from the oven and topped with vanilla ice cream, but I was already full of Bar-B-Qued Chicken, so….. Next time!!
