When it's too hot to cook...

It is a cruel trick that during the season that blueberries are at their peak, it's way too hot to turn on the oven to turn them into a crisp or a pie. Best to pack them off to the freezer to be used later in the fall, leaving a few pints back to sprinkle on cereal or mix into the pancake batter.
If I could come up with a way to make a blueberry dessert on the grill, I would be thrilled. Instead, they end up in my oatmeal at breakfast, and they taste almost like dessert.
Here's how to do it:
     Microwave 1/3 cup of oatmeal with 2/3 cup of 2% milk for two to three minutes in the microwave. Keep an eye on it so that your bowl doesn't runneth over. Cleaning up oatmeal goop is a good way to get your morning off to a bad start.
    Use potholders to take your bowl out of the microwave; it will be hot.
     Next, sprinkle about 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries (or thawed blueberries) onto your oatmeal, and add some chopped pecans or walnuts, if you have them. Don't bother with brown sugar or maple syrup unless you have an extreme sweet tooth; the sugar in the milk makes the oatmeal quite sweet, as do the berries. Let the heat of the oatmeal cook your berries for a minute or two, before you dig in. It's like eating blueberry crisp for breakfast, but way more healthy!
