fresh blackberry rhubarb crisp

Fresh blackberries AND rhubarb in the same crisp?! Why haven’t I done this years ago?! (If you live in the beautiful Northwest, you probably understand what I am talking about! These two goodies are almost free for the taking all summer around here!)

Oh my goodness you guys!! I can’t believe how long it has been since I have shared a recipe with you.

Life has just wiped us out lately… and by us, I mean me and my computer (who pretended to die on me a few weeks ago! Ha!) and now my 5 year old son who is recovering from having his tonsils and adenoids out this morning.

I think things might still be crazy for the next week or so, but please know I’ve got some recipes waiting in the wings for ya. I can’t wait to share them with you!!

Now, in the meantime, and because you can never have too many good crisps in your life (or crumbles, or whatever you want to call them?!)… here is my apology-offer to you.
