Kickin' Chicken Marinade

School started again, that means that the Westward Wives are back together (well mostly). Sarah is off living with other roommates, closer to Old Town (can we blame her? no! just a walk to the bars). Jessica has moved to Nebraska to go to UNL, and Caitlin is still at Metro but visiting EVERY WEEKEND (lovin' it!). 
So last night we decided to start our first week off with a family dinner. Since it is still nice (by nice its been over 90 degree everyday) I decided to grill some chicken and veggies and make herbed quinoa you can find on an earlier post. For dessert we had s'mores. The night was full of catching up with friends and enjoying the beautiful night!

Strawberry and Rhubarb Crisp

It's been a while. I got back from vacation a little over a week ago and since then I have unpacked from vacation and repacked to move back up to Fort Collins for my SENIOR year. Ya I really don't want to talk about being a senior because it pretty much sends me into an anxiety attack every time I think about graduation. Not ready.... 
This recipe comes from the lovely Callie Morgan (one of the wives) and I remade it for my parents and they LOVED it! (even though my dad wasn't excited for the rhubarb at first. Plus this recipe is semi-homemade, the best kind.

Ingredients:
1 package of pre-made crisp (you can find at the grocery store)
1 stick of butter
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup chopped strawberry

Directions:
In an ungreased 8 x 8" pan spread out strawberries and rhubarb
In a bowl mix everything together but the strawberries and rhubarb with fork, until crumbly
Spread crisp evenly over fruit
Bake according to the directions on the grocery store crisp package.
