(and me of course!! ha ha) On the bottom layer I used 1/2c of brown sugar and for the flour I used whole wheat. In the middle layer, I eliminated the sugar completely (why do we need to add extra sugar to berries we already love as they are???!!!). For the top layer I used 1/3c white and 2/3c whole wheat flour. It turned out GREAT! SO good and it was a huge hit with my son as well :) Thanks for posting the recipe up!

The only change I think I might make next time is cut the amount of almond extract mixed with the blueberries. The flavors are great together but after eating these for a couple of days, I decided the almond was a little overpowering. If you make them, you might want to try using 1/2 t. of almond extract instead of a full teaspoon. About the photo: I am very new to food photography and I don't know that much about photography in general so every good shot I've taken up to this point has been pretty much accidental :-) For this one, the blueberry bar was sitting in the middle of a big white tray and I just got as close as I could. I've been using natural light instead of a flash so the latest photos have been taken towards the evening when I have good light coming in through the kitchen window that isn't too harsh. I just keep taking them until I get something I like. Unfortunately I don't have photoshop so I really have to make sure I capture what I want since I can only do basic editing with <a href="http://picasa.google.com/" rel="nofollow">Picasa</a>. I am trying to learn more about photography. I have a great <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos300d/" rel="nofollow">camera</a> and I'd like to be able to take full advantage of it! Here's an informative <a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">site</a> about digital photography that I've been checking out and I've also learned a lot from studying other food photos on <a href="http://flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=food+&m=text" rel="nofollow">Flickr</a>. Sometimes I ask questions about the photos I really like. Thanks to both of you :-) Sandy, this definitely makes a great dessert!
