I chased the sun all the way to California in a desperate search for the sun-dappled, glittery, dry vacation we all dream for. Indeed I found it- in a coastal college town, wine country, LA beaches, and even the desert. Our third stop: Santa Monica.

So any activity celebrating our beloved pumpkin, I’m there. And luckily, I don’t have to stray far because Ohio seems to love pumpkins as much as I do.

And then take those apples and turn them into crispy, gooey goodness. Yes, I’m talking about apple pie’s laid-back and reliable cousin, the apple crisp. And this New York Times recipe might be my new favorite.
