Rhubarb Crisp

I really enjoy this time of year...all the flowers blooming, warmer weather, and gardens starting to produce delicious fruits and vegetables. This recipe reminds me of the dessert my grandmother used to make when I was growing up. I found this recipe online, to see the original recipe, click here.
