Package-Free Rhubarb Oat Crumble
Package-Free Rhubarb Oat Crumble:
We love this time of year as more local produce becomes available. And, it's even better when you can turn local produce into a package-free treat, perfect for meals on the deck or cozy in the kitchen on a rainy spring day. We think rhubarb, bubbling with brown sugar and oats wafting through the house has got to be one of the best smelling things ever.
