Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp

Rhubarb crisp is one of those classic desserts that always reminds me of my childhood.  This recipe includes strawberries as the farmer’s market was bursting with pints of them! (The rhubarb was sold out at many of the stations, so I was glad to find some!)
