A Thanksgiving dessert recommendation for your Alzheimer's patient
http://www.tasteloveandnourish.com/2013/05/09/blueberry-crisp/
I made this dessert keeping in mind that my dad is addicted to sweets and we need healthier alternatives to brownies and cookies. Keeping in mind that coconut oil and blueberries are recommended for Alz patients I substituted coconut oil for the recommended butter. If anyone wants to try the same, it is a 1:1 substitution. This crisp is delicious and goes great with frozen yogurt. Every bit as good if not better then blueberry pie. Also interesting is the potential of flax seed and walnuts for protecting and preventing brain degeneration.
Happy Thanksgiving!! Peace, love and joy to all!!
