Raspberry Rhubarb Crisp


Rhubarb reminds me so much of summertime desserts when i was a child. my mom had a huge patch of rhubarb and she served it all the time, but mostly with strawberries. i couldn't wait to try this recipe from sunset magazine. we weren't disappointed! we like this with vanilla ice cream but it would also be good with sweetened whipped cream.
