Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

So after my long hiatus, I'm going to update already!  Its nice to be baking and creating again.  I've been cooking dinners for my family almost every night and I've been experimenting with healthy desserts.  


I've been trying to create less of me, but I can't stop baking!  So far, I've made low-fat banana muffins and this delicious strawberry-rhubarb crisp.  


I've never made anything with rhubarb before and, I hate to admit this, but I'm pretty sure I've never even eaten rhubarb before.  I'm glad to report that I loved it!  It was tart and soft, not what I expected at all.  Rhubarb is pretty seasonal, so make this while its still around!


Sorry for the lack of pics lately, I keep eating the dessert before I get a chance to take a picture.  I'm not crazy about pictures of half eaten desserts...
