For the first couple months of transitioning to Manic Monday evenings, our 2 "big" girls and the parent who took them to dance and gymnastics grabbed fast food between classes. It was the easiest chose, saved me from having to think up and pack something that would last for a couple hour...
“world tour”. I assume that’s when she took classes in France, but I’m not sure. A side note: when she died and we were cleaning out her house, we found a mint green satin cape from Paris in the attic. What I would give to have that today. I also found a drawer full of...
For me, the level of sweetness in this crisp is ideal. You don’t have to sweeten the fruit because some of the topping sifts down during baking and does it for you. Similarly, the topping thickens the juices. I like the crisp warm or cold. I usually eat it plain, but you could ...
