That's the way the berry crumbles...

When I think of berry crumble (or any kind fruit crumble), I think of summer. Maybe it's because of all the fresh fruit that's available at the local markets. It can be summer all year long with this fool-proof crumble recipe. You can make it with any of your favorite fruits- fresh OR frozen! In my version, I used Trader's Joe's "Fancy Berry Medley" (Blueberries, Blackberries & Raspberries) found in the frozen section. It's absolutely heavenly! I topped it with a scoop of vegan-friendly vanilla ice cream. (The combination of the tartness from the berry crumble and the sweetness from the ice cream is oh-so yummy!)        Mixed Berry Crumble Recipe   Fruit Mixture: 2 bags of frozen mixed berries (thawed & drained) 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Crumble Topping: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup light brown sugar, l

Homemade Iced Coffee

I often make my way to a Starbucks (at least 3 times a week) so I can enjoy an iced coffee (or two). This practice is not cheap and my current obsession is one, to save money (maybe for a fabulous pair of shoes) and two, making homemade iced coffee.      Stuff You'll Need:  2/3 cups of course ground coffee   3 cups cold water  3 tablespoons brown sugar  1 teaspoon cinnamon  Let’s make iced coffee!  Place all ingredients in a jar; stir and let sit covered in fridge overnight. The next day pour coffee into a French press. Then pour the pressed coffee back into your rinsed out jar for storage. Fill a glass with ice and pour coffee over. Add a splash of milk or cream (if you like your coffee tan like me!) and start sipping!
