I know I know. I became one of those people who just cannot stop talking about rhubarb on Instagram. But can you blame me? It’s my first year ever eating rhubarb and I instantly fell in love with it. How come I’ve never tried this weird tangy pink vegetable in my life? Back in February, when I first spotted rhubarb in the market, I started to experiment with all the rhubarb recipes I can find.

I somehow converted to a sweet breakfast person. I will always order pancakes/waffles over any savory dishes if we’re out ...

My favorite King Arthur Flour Recipes – after 60 days of baking KAF recipes

Unconventional Pumpkin & Purple Yam Mooncakes
