Day 286 - May 27, 2010

Update: This recipe is sweeter than I expected. A little less sugar and a little more fruit next time.

It's been a busy day here, but I'm never too busy to whip up a great dessert! Mango Berry Crumble is a variation of a recipe I found on Mennonite Girls Can Cook. It's the perfect summer dessert!
