summer deserts.

summer crumble.

hi beauties!

this is the first blog post on my new site! i am so grateful that you are here with me. this has been a long labor of eight years in creating a sacred space to share this movement, to talk about turning on our fire, to call forth awakening our hunger to discover how we nourish and how we were nourished inside our food story. this movement started here, on the blog, with my hunger to create a way to nourish my needs & their needs, my wants & their wants, my dreams & their dreams and more.... with my hands on the keyboard like throwing the dough, flattening it out, adding flour, rolling it up, i started writing it over and over again. i am grateful for those of you who have been with me since the beginning. many of you are friends or have become friends, who feed and nourish me with your stories, your showing up to gatherings, your reflecting back to me what it is that i am up to with this important and delicious work. i am so excited for our community to grow, to truly help each other grow, to inspire each other to buy the flowers, to stop the comparing and drop down deep for the connections we are so hungry for and to support each other in healing with beauty, with story, with permission and freedom. this is the conversation i will continue to offer up here and more of course. 

speaking of flour...lets make the easiest crumble ever. here is one of my summer favorites. this can be used with any fruit that create a juicy base.. berries, ripe pears and more.

gaviota strawberry gf crumble.








***BEAUTIES***

it's always a good idea to have some QUICK & EASY
sweet treats up your apron for summer and this one:
never gets old.
this crumble is what i like to call a 'frame' recipe
meaning once you know the bones you can create the body
you can make any kind of crumble you want
shape it any which way you would like because
the information gives you the freedom to be creative
and....make it yours!

this crumble is BEYOND
for a few reasons.. 
(need i say more)
3. 6 ingredients
4. 10 minutes prep
  
back in the day: i would cube the frozen butter sticks, 
crumble it up in my hands & put the sugar in later...
which has it's place on a planet where time is in excess, 
where children play calmly, where i am sure people take naps!
since i have not been to that planet in a long time...
i have this for you! this recipe is inspired by 
it's fast, fun and gets you to the same place: 
yummy in the tummy land 
(or another name for my kitchen!)
