We’re in trauma mode over here after family visiting from Australia had to go back to said land down under. My kids got deeply attached to these “new” cousins, and, while I wisely distracted them with fun visits to other cousins immediately following the departure, I neglected to anticipate the sadness that comes with the […]
Perfect Apple Crisp
Can we all agree that apple crisp is the bomb? I could eat apple crisp every. single. day. And this week I did. It was wonderful. You know what else I did? Graham crumbs in the topping. I told you, I’m obsessed. This is going down in history as the best apple crisp ever made, […]
