Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch

I love this recipe.
I don't make it enough.
It's amazingly easy to make and VERY delicious. A little tart and a whole lot of sweetness.

The main ingredients? Strawberries and Rhubarb (thus, the title). See how easy this is already?

Don't have any Rhubarb on hand?
Go ask a neighbor.
Or your mom.
Or MY mom.
You can ask my mom if you want to.
Someone you know is bound to grow it in their back yard.

Here is the list of ingredients you'll need:

The FILLING

• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• 3 cups diced rhubarb

The CRISP

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup rolled oats 

Let's DO this! (sorry - just wanted to sound cool...or dorky. Whichever).

 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour, strawberries and rhubarb.

*Betcha didn't know I have a hard time remembering how to spell the word rhubarb. It's that darn H. Get's me every time.

Stir it up real good.
Mmmm.

Pour mixture into a 9x13 and imagine how good it's going to taste.

Mix flour, brown sugar and oats until crumbly.
Try some.
You're welcome.

Crumble the crumble on top of the crumbly crumble crumbler.
Wait. What?
Sorry. I got lost in the crumbly deliciousness.
Spread that crumble on top of the strawberry rhubarb mix.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until crisp and bubbly.

Eat it.
...with ice cream, without ice cream.
...with a fork, without a fork.
...with a friend, without a friend.

YUM.
