Springtime is amazing in Western North Carolina. The beauty of the flowers blossoming and the trees leafing, but the fruits, vegetables and herbs that are available at this time are already abundant. Our rhubarb started early this year and I recognized the fact that I need to use it now. Okay...what can I make for breakfast! When I think of rhubarb, strawberries hit my mind. Dessert! How about strawberry rhubarb crisp. Just at that time, our guest came into the kitchen with a picture of strawberry rhubarb pie from WNC magazine. Well I didn't have time to make a pie but I certainly developed a great strawberry rhubarb crisp for the morning. Enjoy the recipe and be sure to top it off with Blue Bell Vanilla Bean ice cream!
