I was looking everywhere for the fresh stalks of rhubarb and by the time I found them, a very nice man was already putting the last of the rhubarb, all 8 stalks, in his bag and when he saw my reaction-he offered to split the last of the rhubarb with me. Which was perfect for one main reason-I always make more dessert than I need! Does anyone else have this problem?

I love early Spring rhubarb in a crisp, cobbler or pie and usually I add fresh strawberries but a recipe from Eating Well got me thinking to try raspberries for a change. I’m very happy I did because in addition to being bright red and very pretty, my crisp was delicious with the melty vanilla frozen yogurt on top.

  • So, when do you add the vanilla? I got it in the oven and then looked back to see it sitting on the counter!!! Nowhere in the recipe does it say when to add. Guess I should have just thrown everything together, but I am a step by step follow the directions baker.
