I made this dessert on Thursday night, was about to eat it and then decided to see if Pat was up for some. Hooray for all hoorays she was so I took it over and got to see her for a few minutes. I’ve never seen anyone the day after breast cancer surgery so was surprised she was up and around and in good spirits.
This is a fave recipe that my friend Cathleen wrote out for me in our 20’s. With everything that went on this week it made me realize how lucky I am to have had a friend for such a long time. There’s something comforting about opening my recipe drawer and seeing her handwriting there. I hope you enjoy the dessert as much as I have over the years. It is a perfect mix of sweet, sour and crunch that is wonderful with vanilla ice cream.

Yes, anything topped with oatmeal is perfectly good for breakfast! Your crumble sounds fabulous…I wish my rhubarb crop wasn’t all gone 🙁
wow, this looks so, so good! rhubard desserts always remind me of my mom. Thanks for the recipe! xo
Ooh looks yummy (and healthy!). Your bowls are fantastic. I’m glad your neighbor is doing better.. hopefully it stays that way! And I’m a total 180 on my opinion of the real housewives.. but then again I only watched the first 1.5 seasons. (doubt my views have changed if I watch it now though)
Yum! I make one similar but it’s just with apples.
yum! This reminds me of my Mom who always nails summer rhubarb desserts. Yum, yum!
I’m trying this recipe this week. Looks delish.
I saw this dress and thought it would look so beautiful on you (the details are so unique):

Yum, yum! I love crumbles, and strawberry-rhubarb is definitely one of my favourite combinations!

It’s so nice that Pat has you to check in on her. That dessert looks delicious. I don’t watch the housewives of NY but have been hooked on the New Jersey housewives… they are beyond entertaining! xo
This looks so delicious! I’m glad that Pat is in good spirits! I’m sure having a great friend like you helps! 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your yummy dessert!

Mmm… I don’t bake much, but this is the perfect in-season recipe. And, yeah, I would be eating it for breakfast, too. And lunch and dinner.

It looks good! I have never had rhubarb before, but my grandmother has always said that it’s good!

Yummy! I see it as a perfectly healthy breakfast with the fruit and oats! I am snagging this one and if I can find some strawberries that are not an arm and a leg ~ this will be on the menu for tomorrow night. I cannot wait for the local strawberries ~ really! Thanks hon!

This is the second crumble recipe I’ve seen lately, so I think it’s a sign that I must make a crumble! This looks amazing and now I am craving something sweet at 12:30 am! Maybe something with Nutella will have to do for now, but crumble will be on my weekend list!

I love rhubarb!!!!! Absolutely LOVE IT!! Your crumble looks delicious!! MMM!
Looks really yummy. I msut try and make this. I made mini cheesecakes today and have decided to try a new dessert each week.
ps. i could easily eat that for breakfast…hah

Glad to hear Pat was up and ready for company! She sounds like a strong woman. Why have we not discussed Real Housewives? I’m obsessed with New York. I’ll make you a deal – I can put you in touch with Charli (my hair stylist/BFF who lived in Morocco for 2 years) and you send me some crumble. She can tell you all kinds of stories. And for a really long time. She’s a talker.
Spooky — I have a decidedly similar post planned for next week! Seasonal fruit is the greatest.

this is really, really inspiring! xx
I was really scared to read this post when I saw it on facebook and twitter, cause I’m still abstaining from all things decadent. SO SICK OF IT! My cousin comes into town tomorrow for a visit, so my diet will be kicked to the curb for a few days, thank God. The problem I have with things like this (which incidentally looks amazingly good) is that I have no self-control and would likely devour the entire thing in one day. Ugh.
Glad to hear Pat is doing well after her surgery! She is lucky to have a neighbor like you! And this looks amaaazing! I was just talking to my mom about rhubarb, she said my cousin has a patch behind her house so we’re going to get our hands on some & I think it’s safe to say I will be attempting THIS as soon as we do! Mmm!
Glad to hear Pat was up and about so soon, she has crossed my mind several times since I read your post.
Your crumble look completely mouthwatering, so much in fact that I’m going to the kitchen to get an icecream to curb my sweet tooth. And then I’m coming back to book a ticket to LA, I’ll be seeing you for breakfast.
this looks absolutely delicious. i would love to be able to still have compilations of my recipes when i’m a bit older that would be nice to look back on.
Chandra I will most def keep you updated on her condition. I have to say that seeing her that day with the lump is one of the most sobering days I’ve had in a long time. Thank you so much for checking in. xo
I’m so glad your neighbor, Pat, is doing well. Your post about her touched me deeply.
Ooh that looks quite tasty!! 😀 I’ve never had rhubarb before…haha
Have a fun time this weekend 😉
