While on a family vacation in the Pacific Northwest last week, Karmel and I happened upon some perfectly ripe Oregon strawberries and loads of fresh rhubarb from a friends garden farm. We had to turn the amazing ingredients into something very special. Playing around in the kitchen of our beach house vacation rental, we came up with what we like to call World’s Best Gluten-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp. Seriously AMAZING!!!! It is what I consider the very best gluten-free and paleo friendly summer desserts we’ve ever made—and tasted. This Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp explodes with seasonal flavors, is balanced with sweet berries, zesty rhubarb and lemon.
