Summer Strawberry Crisp

                     There is something about fruit desserts that I'm completely in love with.
                   When you bake luscious berries in the oven...something magical happens.

                          Fresh out of the oven and topped with vanilla ice cream. Heaven.

We love going strawberry picking.
