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: 39 Years Edition

A political map of the world circa 1987. The Soviet Union takes up a sizable portion. A lot has happened in the last 39 years. The Berlin Wall came down. The Soviet Union collapsed. The Twin Towers fell. Technology has changed: landlines and phone booths are practically extinct, and random questions can be answered in seconds by asking Google, Siri, or Alexa. No longer do drivers keep the Thomas Guide in their cars; navigation systems will give turn-by-turn directions, and recalculate when the driver doesn't follow the directions. Some cars don't even need drivers. While many shoppers do their shopping in-person, some simply log into Amazon and have their item show up on their doorstep--sometimes within hours.  I've seen pieces of the Berlin Wall. I've traveled to places that used to be behind the Iron Curtain. I've been to Ground Zero. I no longer have a house phone, and have looked up the answers to countless questions using my cell phone. I do not miss the stress...

Ten Things of Thankful: April Showers Edition

  A red peony bud prepares to open fully  After an incredibly dry winter, we had a bit of precipitation this past week, in the form of falling snow. We didn't have much, and it didn't really stick, but we'll take water however it wants to come. Fortunately, my peonies seem unaffected by the cold snap, and are ready to put on a show here soon. 1. I'm thankful for moisture. 2. I'm thankful the flowers are still going to bloom. I don't know how the colder temperatures will affect the fruit crops. The strawberries look like they are still planning to set fruit. We'll have to see what happens with the peach, apricot, pear, and apple. (The apricot only bears heavily every other year anyway, and I think this is an "off" year--though I could be wrong.) Strawberry plants in full bloom 3. I'm thankful for anticipated berries.  We continue to clear out and otherwise prepare John's parents' house for sale. I've been going through old photos and...
