E and i are having a great time in nm so far. we left cold, rainy md and are now enjoying sunny, beautiful, 60 degree nm! first of all, T and L couldn't be cuter. maybe i'm biased because i'm aunt page but seriously, can you disagree?

A and i got lots of apples at the store yesterday so i made an apple crisp for breakfast this morning. the whole kitchen smelled like cinnamon apple goodness. it's good just by itself but would also be good with some greek yogurt.

apples, agave, cinnamon, and corn starch

 

oats, sucanat, spelt flour, almonds, butter, and honey

finished product - yum!
