Summer Dessert

I can always tell that summer is here because the rhubarb in my garden is going TOTALLY crazy! I've already made four rhubarb crisp desserts and brought rhubarb to at least five people, and there's still so much I don't know what to do with. When summer starts, I typically make at least one crisp a week to bring to the resort to share in the office or to my family because it is just so good, but there's no way i can eat that all on my own. Luke, my boyfriend, doesn't eat sweets, so I have to share with someone!

Rhubarb crisp is literally the only thing I bake because it is just so easy and always turns out so good. Take a peek at the recipe I use (seriously so easy) that really kick-starts my summer. Wanna know how else we know it's summer around Metropolis Resort? The outdoor attractions open THIS WEEKEND! 

See you soon!
