This was a summer of delicious peaches for us here in Ontario. We’d buy them by the basket and eat them every chance we got. They were sweet, juicy and just a perfect way to beat the heat. We ate peaches on their own, mixed into smoothies, on top of yogurt and with ice cream! I’d been meaning to make a Peach Crisp all summer long but only got around to it just recently. It was the perfect way to enjoy the last of the summer peach season and to give our summer a sweet and nutty send off!I promise you this Crisp will be a hit in your house.

One of my fondest childhood summer memories growing up was biking around theneighborhood late into the evening with my besties. There’s something empowering abouttaking to the streets on your own two wheels. As our kids have gotten older and morecomfortable on their bikes, we’ve taken on more and more adventurous family rides.
