Happy week after 4th of July week! What did you do to celebrate the 4th? Since there were no fireworks to attend, we drove down by the lake and watched all of the fireworks people were setting off on the beach.
Eliza loved looking at them! She didn’t love the noise quite as much.
I have a special treat for you today. Remember my blackberry cobbler that you all loved so much? While this Strawberry and Rhubarb Crisp may not be as easy as opening up a boxed mix and making a dessert for your summer parties you are attending, they aren’t too difficult and they taste like heaven. I mean, straight up heaven, people!
If you’ve never baked with rhubarb before, now is the time to start! This was actually my first rhubarb dessert. As a food blogger, I’m embarrassed to admit that. I’m officially the worst.
Truth be told if I’m being completely honest in our circle of trust here? Rhubarb thoroughly freaks me out. It just kind of does.
Someone told me a year back that the leaves are poisonous and ever since then I just kind of stayed away from it. After doing my own research just recently, I realized it would take eating several pounds of rhubarb leaves to reach toxic levels. I guess rhubarb and I can be friends again.
Did you know that technically rhubarb is a vegetable? Rhubarb is always treated like fruit for some reason. It is sweet, so I’m sure that is why!
Not sure which part I love more about this Strawberry and Rhubarb Crisp – the bubbling, warm fruit on the bottom or the crumbly topping. Ugh! Delicious city. I think I have a new favorite crisp. Sorry, Spiced Pear Cobbler.
This Strawberry and Rhubarb Crisp is perfect for a summer or spring night, served warm out of the oven with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Leftovers are also delicious and completely acceptable for breakfast. Because, fruit.
I may or may not have had my Crock Pot Peach Cobbler for breakfast on several occasions.
This is is a dreamy, easy baked crisp that is lovely this time of year. I also have an apple crisp recipe that is to DIE for.
Make this crisp soon and see why I love it so much! All the exclamation points and fireworks for this recipe.

We love fruit crisps at this time of the year, and have been making a lot using stone fruit. Haven’t made a strawberry/rhubarb one yet. But we will! This looks terrific — thanks.
