The sunlight that fills my kitchen around 7pm these days is the kind that you just want to bottle up. Summertime is upon us and I can’t get enough of all of the lovely things that come along with it. Brighter mornings, open windows, maxi dresses, playing in the yard, fresh flowers on our kitchen table, desserts served with ice cream.
This crumble is really, really, really good. Especially with ice cream.

The fun thing about a crumble is that you could swap out any of these berries for whatever you have on hand. Such a quick and easy after-dinner treat.
Enjoy,
