Valentine’s Day is less than a week away, so I decided to share an exclusive recipe from my cookbook Meals Made Simple! This recipe for Gluten-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp is a warm grain-free crisp made with chopped nuts and coconut, resulting in a delicious and festive recipe to make for your loved ones this Valentine’s Day! Rhubarb can be found in all seasons, but if you have trouble finding it at your local grocery store you can easily swap it out for another fruit such as blueberries or blackberries.
I also have a bunch of great Valentine’s Day kid-friendly activities and recipes, date night recipes, and Galentine’s Day fun from my blog and cookbooks. Plus if you don’t have a copy of my cookbook Celebrations yet, it is not too late to grab a copy. You can grab the kindle version or check your local bookstore for a copy. I have an entire section dedicated to Valentine’s Day recipes + date night recipes, so there’s truly something for everyone in the family!
