I’m all about strawberries lately, after visiting the Red Barn Farm strawberry patch with my grandmother and the munchkins. We’ve been busy bees making all sorts of sweet concoctions with our berries. It just so happened that my produce share from Rains & Sun Hilltop Farm had three stalks of rhubarb this week, along with a recipe for a crisp. I’m a huge fan of crisp, and I love strawberries, but had never cooked with rhubarb before. I made this Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp after dinner on pizza night and it was DELICIOUS! I’m hoping to make it again and again this summer!
