Rhubarb crumble - from Canada this time.


 One of my greatest delights is being a Grandmother.  We've been visiting our son Justin, his wife Courtney and their almost one year old daughter Anabel. They live in Calgary, Alberta Canada. 


We also had the blessing of going to the beautiful town of Banff.  What  majestic mountains, forest, lakes and rivers.

One of the joys I have while visiting my children is cooking up a storm.  One of the many dishes I've made while here is Rhubarb crumble.   I love the sweet/sour delight.  You could hear me saying  "mmm....oh this is yummy"  This dish reminds me of my own grandmother........from many years ago.


 Chop the washed Rhubarb into 1 inch chunks.


Mix 1/4 c flour, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 c sugar into the rhubarb in a large baking dish.
