Living My Full Life 
Funny story… I grew up eating strawberry-rhubarb pie, but my hubby Nate had NEVER tried it!!! In fact, he had never tried rhubarb! So I quickly introduced him to my mom’s amazing pie, and he fell in love with it instantly. Well, almost a week later, we were in the grocery store together. And Nate grabbed a rhubarb stalk and said, “Hmmm, so that tastes like strawberries?” And I started laughing and said, “NO, no it doesn’t.” And he said, “But why is it called strawberry-rhubarb pie then?” And I said, “BECAUSE it has strawberries AND rhubarb in it!” LOL! He seriously had thought that rhubarb tastes like strawberries! 🙂 So this recipe totally made me think of that story, and apparently I felt the need to share. 😉 I’ve honestly never had strawberry-rhubarb crisp before, and I can’t wait to try making this!!!
Ha! I had actually never had rhubarb until a few months ago when it showed up in our CSA. Like you, my DH had grown up eating strawberry-rhubarb pie and baked a wonderful one for us. Maybe it’s a country thing?
Oh my gosh, this used to be a summer favorite when my family grew rhubarb! I have a bunch of frozen strawberries and was actually planning a crisp for later this week, but I might have to check out a farmer’s market or two first, just to see if I can pick up some rhubarb to go with!
This brings back so many childhood memories! My mom used to grow rhubarb in her garden!
I’ve never had rhubarb, but this looks pretty!
Holy deliciousness! This sounds amazing! 🙂
what does rhubarb taste like?
It’s pretty sour… but delicious with strawberries 🙂
Hmmm I have almost everything but rhubarb…which I’ve actually never had! That looks awesome, though!
Oooo great recipe Allie! I like that it’s healthified, this is something I would love to make for my mom to bring into work for the lovely nurses she works along side with 🙂
I can’t believe I have never worked with rhubarb. This looks so yummy – and I love that you used agave!
Yum, this looks so good! I love all kinds of crumbles…. strawberry, rhubarb sounds devine!
I LOVE rhubarb!!! I saw some at the store the other day, but had no idea how much to buy. This looks awesome!
I’ve never actually made anything with rhubarb before. Going to have to try this!
Thanks, in advance, from my mouth 🙂
