Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp


I love the ease of crisps.  "Easy as pie" should be replaced with "Easy as crisp." 


Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp 

Preheat oven to 375°.  Combine: 4-5 cups sliced strawberries, 4-5 cups diced rhubarb, 3/4 cup sugar, 5 tablespoons flour, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.  Place in a 9 x 13 pan.  

Mix together:  3/4 cup flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup oats, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.  Cut in 3/4 cup butter.  Place mixture over fruit, the top with 3/4 cup chopped walnuts. Bake for 45 minutes.  Serve warm.

    I just had a delicious peach/plum crisp last night made by my 12 y.o. cousin. And while I've never made one myself, I've lightly supervised my kids making one...yes easy as crisp indeed!

    I never think to add strawberries to the rhubarb crisps I make.

    Oh, goodness, that looks so delicious, Kristi! One of these days I'll be able to have some carbs in my life again, just not too many! I'll be pinning this for future reference.

    I never think to add rhubarb to my strawberry crisp or to anything I make! It does look yummy but try as he may have my Dad could never get me to like rhubarb and I still don't.

    Yum, yum, yum. I've never had rhubarb before, but I may have to try it. I've noticed them selling it at the grocery store lately.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another

Ten Things of Thankful: December is Here!

  A small snowflake ornament made of clear melted beads hangs on a Christmas tree The rhythm of time passing should not surprise me--after all, that is our experience here on earth--and yet I find myself constantly amazed at how another week/month/year has come and gone. In a blink of an eye, we are now in December and the Christmas season. I love Christmas!  1. I'm thankful for decorations. The tree is up, lights are hung, nativities adorn the house. Stockings are hung in anticipation of little ones visiting. Someone asked me this week what my tree looks like. I'm a sentimental tree decorator. I didn't even realize until not that long ago that some people have themes for their trees that are anything other than "a hodge-podge of ornaments made and collected over the years, each with a history that brings memories flooding back." At this point in my life, I have more ornaments than tree space, so not every ornament goes up each year. I always find room for the sma

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this
