Rhubarb Crisp

Every once in a while I just don't feel like making a pie, yep, I just don't. But I didn't want to let fresh rhubarb season pass us by without whipping up a little something and this Rhubarb Crisp was very good! And easy, did I mention easy:@) You can mix in some strawberries or apples or raisins if you'd like, I added an apple. We all really enjoyed this dessert but I will probably add more fruit the next time, at least 1-2 more cups.

Don't hesitate to make this very tasty seasonal treat folks, and if you happen to have some vanilla ice cream in the freezer... 

Well, that would be a beautiful thing too:@)
