‘Tis the season! You’ve got those beautiful flowers planted and seeds in the garden. The best part? The rhubarb you planted 10 years ago is already growing and ready to eat.
My roommates and I got creative this year, we wanted to utilize the rhubarb growing in our garden, but do something different than rhubarb cobbler. We made Rhubarb Crunch, Rhubarb Cake and Rhubarb and Cherry Jam. [I know, I know, these are not within my food plan, but they are ALL delicious.]
