Mini Berry Crumble – The best of summer’s fruits

Mini berry crumble made from almond flavoured dough, served with fresh whipped cream. Need I say more!

And just like that August came to an end and we have 4 more months left of 2020. I can not decide if this year has flown by or if it was dragging. At some point it felt like time stood still and it seemed like we were just watching paint dry on a wall. And all of a sudden, boom! We’re in September.

But if there’s one thing that is sure, then it’s that time waits for no one and it goes on. There is no point in sulking over things that we cannot change. For example, finally a year of great weather in Holland and not being able to enjoy it to the fullest. Or having tickets to fly to South Africa to see my family after 5 years and then being forced to cancel it. Cry me a river for that one!

I’ve settled on my theme song for 2020. Yes, if it’s gonna be a year to remember, then it’s gonna need a theme song. And mine is Alanis Morissette – Ironic. Cause it’s all just so ironic. “It’s like rain on your wedding day. It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid.” You know? That song!

Well to stay on the positive side, we are still rocking temperatures around 20 degrees in Holland. And despite the rain, I will still be holding on to summer for dear life and squeeze in all my favourite summer dishes like these colourful mini berry crumble pies. I cannot express how much I love berries. Hopefully, you are able to make your favourite seasonal treats one last time.
