Apricot and Thyme Crumble

Apricots have arrived at my farmers' market!  I'm excited about this.



I'm excited because, frankly, I'd had my fill of the blood oranges, meyer lemons, and clementines that continued to appear week after week.  Delicious as they are, my taste buds were ready for a change, fruit-wise.

As a result, the minute I saw these, I sped over to the barrels and enthusiastically purchased, of course, waaaay too many apricots.

This recipe (conveniently) uses quite a lot of them.  Plus, who doesn't like fruit crisp a la mode?  No one.

Strawberry Cupcakes with Rosewater Frosting


I love Sundays.

I love waking up on Sunday morning and allowing a certain realization to slowly dawn on me: nope, it's still not Monday yet.  

I love laying in bed thinking of the possibilities.  Hiking?  Sure!  Brunch?  Yes please!  Lay in bed for another two hours with a cup of tea and a book?  Perfectly acceptable.  




Stare at a bowl of strawberries until you decide to turn them into cupcakes?  Well, now you know what I did this weekend.
