Spring means fresh rhubarb in my garden!!! Yay!! It is the first thing that i am able to pick from my garden every spring! I love that I can just go out to my back yard and pick fruits and vegetables! Can’t wait for more to be ready!!

I have always loved rhubarb! I think it’s a love it or hate it item. Some people absolutely hate rhubarb. I also love the mixture of strawberries and rhubarb. Especially in pie, strawberry rhubarb pancakes and in strawberry rhubarb crisp. This time, I went for a different approach and I love the results. I hope you do as well!
