One of my favorite things about spring and summer is fresh rhubarb. When I was a kid, I used to eat it raw because I liked the tartness. My favorite thing now is to put it in scrumptious baked goods. For a few other rhubarb recipes I’ve done, check out these cookies and vodka.

I enjoyed mine plain, they didn’t need butter or jam or anything because they were so moist and flavorful.
These muffins were delicious and did not last long in our kitchen. I have 5 rhubarb plants growing in my garden this year and I’m hoping that they produce a lot of yummy stalks to go with the 30 strawberry plants I have as well.
Do you enjoy rhubarb? What is your favorite thing to make with it?
