I'm not sure if you've picked up on this yet, but summer always makes me extremely nostalgic. It's probably something about coming home after being away for a whole school year and having almost everything feel the same as it did when I was younger.
In my opinion, nothing tastes as deliciously nostalgic as my favorite summer dessert: my mom's homemade rhubarb crisp. She used to make it every June or early July from the fresh rhubarb we grew in our garden. This year I volunteered to veganize the recipe and make it slightly healthier, while still maintaining that perfect balance of bitter and sweet. The result? Heavenly.
To get this recipe, you can head on over to my post on One Green Planet, where I am so excited to be debuting as a regular columnist!
Just beautiful! :-)
ReplyDeleteAw thank you, Noelle!
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous--pretty enough to make me a believer! (I'm not a huge rhubarb fan...but that really does look delish!)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jes! Rhubarb can be pretty bitter sometimes, but this recipe hides that well, I think. Let me know if you try it and convert to us rhubarb-lovers :)
DeleteSo lovely! I love rhubarb crisps -- especially the color! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ali! I love the color too.
DeleteI loveeee rhubarb! I was really hoping to get some in my CSA this year, but it didn't happen.
ReplyDeleteAaw that's disappointing! I got some from the farmers market near me.
DeleteCongratulations on your new column on One Green Planet! I love reading your blog :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so glad :)
DeleteWhat a gorgeous recipe - congrats on your one green planet recipe edition, so great!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm so excited!
DeleteMade this recipe substituting apple sauce for the margarine. Having never had rhubarb before, I ended up serving it with a sprinkle of sugar to combat the tartness. Wow. It's a nice recipe. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really delicious and perfect for the spring produce!
