Happy hump day everyone! I'm so looking forward to the weekend! 

I'm heading out for dinner and drinks with a couple friends to celebrate my birthday on Saturday and have an extra day off work on Monday. I just love those long weekends!

Today's recipe is so perfect for summertime and you can just about use any fruit combo.  I used strawberry and rhubarb and it turned out phenomenal, but I bet others berries would be SO good too, especially cherries. 

I just love graham cracker crust, the tartness of the rhubarb and the sweet, creamy pudding topping. I brought this to work with me when I made it, and everyone really liked it. We had the 9x13 pan gone pretty quickly.

This easy dessert is great for parties, BBQ's and potlucks, or if you're like my family, just because you're craving all things rhubarb!
