Golden hour gatherings

Celebrating the end of summer
THERE’S A CERTAIN KIND of magic in August—the days start to shorten and there’s a quiet shift in the air. Summer’s last hurrah lingers with backyard dinners, dwindling pool days, getting back into the rhythm of a school schedule and the first whispers of fall in the distant breeze.
This month, we’re leaning into that in-between season with a Southern cornbread salad that uses the last bit of fresh summer produce, and a bourbon apple crisp that hints at the coziness ahead.
August is a time for slowing down, savoring the moment, and gathering around the table—golden hour style. Gloria’s family loves this recipe, which is the perfect addition for any dinner or weekend picnic this month.
