I recently moved to Santa Barbara, CA and am enjoying the bounty of fresh fruit and vegetables. This past weekend, my son and I had the opportunity to go pick apricots. Super fun and picked way too many as they were falling off the trees into our bucket. We decided to make a gluten free apricot crumble with them. It was so good, I think we will make another one on July 4th (yes, we picked a lot of apricots.)

I love Memorial Day and for many years we hosted a pool party and barbecue at our home. The pool is just getting warm enough, it’s not too terribly hot out yet and everyone is ready for the beginning of summer!
It’s fun to do a potluck menu. We always do the barbecue and ask everyone to bring one of the other dishes to share.
