Rhubarb has arrived. For a short time only! It’s been ridiculously early this year, as has everything else. But I don’t mind because I’m tired of eating mealy apples and bananas. I am ready for fresh produce to start rolling in and a little extra variety in my refrigerator. Because I hate mealy apples. If an apple isn’t crisp and doesn’t have that satisfying juicy
Rhubarb Apple Tart with Coconut and Chocolate
As quickly as it comes, rhubarb season leaves and so, this is my second but also my last rhubarb post of the year. Last week’s rhubarb apple crisp was so highly rated in this household that I decided to work with the rhubarb apple combo again for this tart. The tart itself was inspired by a rhubarb white chocolate almond tart I saw in Edible
Rhubarb Maple Apple Crisp
I forgot about my rhubarb patch this spring. Well, not “forgot” exactly. Just, sort of… well I would remember for a fraction of a second and think I should go check on it and then get distracted until a day or two later and then… well… rinse, lather and repeat. It sits at the very back of the garden tucked amongst raspberry canes that are
Lemon or Chocolate? Rhubarb Muffin Choices
If you had to choose, between lemon or chocolate, what would your choice be? Throw some rhubarb into the mix and would it make your decision any easier? Think about it… tart lemon with pockets of rhubarb, toasted coconut and sweet blueberries topped with a brown sugar, coconut, lemon zest streusel… or … moist zingy rhubarb offset with a cocoa-y muffin and a few chocolate
Rhubarb Butter Tarts
This will be my last rhubarb post for the season. I still have loads left out in the garden but it’s all going to get harvested this weekend and either chopped up for freezing or made into rhubarb berry compote. This was an idea I got from fellow twitterer, @MichelleLKent. She mentioned that she’d made rhubarb butter tarts, something I never would have thought of,
Chocolate Rhubarb Cookies
My love for rhubarb is no secret. And neither is my love for chocolate. Tangy and tart mixed with sweet and chocolatey… could it be a match made in heaven? Possibly? I say yes. One of the perks of my little gig in Ottawa was coming home with some freebies… freebies in the form of chocolate. Are there any better kinds of freebies? I think
Rhubarb Berry Compote
Can you all stand another rhubarb post?? Last one, I promise (mainly because I’m all out of rhubarb, hehe). Rhubarb Berry Compote is one of my favourite ways to use rhubarb because you can do so many things with it, including freezing it. I put it on my Cheerios in the morning, mix it with yogurt or cottage cheese for an afternoon snack, add it
Rhubarb Coconut Orange Muffins
I have a lot of rhubarb. I just cut down both of my two plants and I have to use it up or freeze it. I used to only have one rhubarb plant but somehow in the last two years it’s multiplied… I knew I wanted to make rhubarb orange muffins but I couldn’t find my recipe so I had to hit the web. We’re
Rhubarb Berry Crumble
Well! It’s been a little while since I did an actual recipe type food post, hasn’t it? I thought it was about time to remedy that 🙂 Rhubarb season is here! Yay! Rhubarb has always been one of my favourite baking fruits but, as I’ve gotten older, I like it even more. While I still definitely have a sweet tooth, I can’t gulp sugar down
