This Stove Top Berry Crisp is the perfect way to end a simple Saturday spent together. It’s light, just a simple mixture of warm berries and crunchy brown sugar topping with a melty scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Plus, it’s all made in one pan, on the stovetop, in less than 15 minutes. This crisp made a perfect end to a delicious meal.
What kinds of Saturdays are your favorite? We have had a lovely series of Saturdays the past few weeks that have all been different, yet wonderful in their own way.
Last weekend we were at a wedding which was filled with lots of exciting time with family, fun preparation work and a beautiful ceremony and reception.
This Saturday was so much calmer and we worked around the yard and house in the sunny, warm weather, working on projects and tidying up the landscaping for spring. It was a quiet day that gave us a sense of peace and accomplishment.
Both types of weekends are wonderful and balance each other out. Gathering with family and friends to celebrate life events is exciting and fun, but at the same time, we need the calm days at home to catch our breath and savor the small joys in life.
This dessert would be great paired with Tomato Bacon Capellini
with Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Most of my Saturdays are well balanced as well! The start me some “me time” (relaxing, working out, reading, baking, etc) and end with spending time with family or friends. I feel like my weekend are more accomplished that way!

My favorite way to spend Saturday’s is being outside. In the summer it is working in the gardens; pulling weeds; dividing perennials; planting new plants. Wintertime is finding something fun to do in the snow – sledding with grandkids; snowmobiling; snow blowing, staying active – making a batch of grandma’s kolaches.

On Saturdays I love to open the windows and do some baking. I also try to relax and watch TV or Netflix. I love to go to thrift stores as well.

My favorite way to spend a Saturday now that the weather is getting warmer is at one of our many parks around Connecticut, with my children. I pack a picnic with them, we grab a few of our favorite books, some sunscreen and bug spray and we enjoy the beautiful outdoors all day long. l go hiking and take a swim… Its the best way I know to enjoy our Saturday!
