Cinnamon Rhubarb Applesauce

Posted on Friday, May 31, 2013 in Veggie Dishes Everyone Loves

I am such a freakin’ dork sometimes. I seriously thought rhubarb applesauce was a groundbreaking idea I came up with all on my own.

It started with a couple of ragged red delicious apples sitting on the kitchen counter alongside a pile of rhubarb my mom sent home with me. I thought to myself, gee, huh, applesauce made with rhubarb would be all pink and pretty! Rhubarb! In applesauce! I’m brilliant. So I threw the apple, some hunks of rhubarb, a sprinkle of sugar, a cinnamon stick and some water in a saucepan and let it simmer awhile.

There are some definite cliches when it comes to writing for food blogs, and after attending a food writing workshop with the inspiring Kathleen Flinn earlier this month, I’m more aware of them – and the fact that I have used every one ad nauseam – than ever before.

I mean, I really, really want to talk about the weather right now. (The calendar says summer’s all but here, but it’s freezing out there and now I’ve got a miserable cold – what?!) And I’m pretty much obsessed with farmer’s markets, but if I ever find myself writing that I picked up some delicious-looking peaches at one and then decided to make a tart with them, I’ll now know I’ve officially jumped the blog shark (um, again).

Where has skillet lasagna been all my life?

Oh. It’s been right there, all along? If only I’d opened my eyes? Well, I guess I have to admit that sounds about right. I spend my time being blissfully oblivious a little more often than I should.

But thankfully, I’m oblivious-no-more when it comes to skillet lasagna. Only blissful.

I love pancakes. A little too much, probably. They’re easy, my toddler will eat them, they lend themselves to all kinds of delicious fruity mix-ins, and, when you’re really going for it, you can soak them with rich butter and sinfully-sweet pure maple syrup.

Oh, but hey! These have bananas. So these fluffy banana pancakes are totally healthy.

Thank freakin’ goodness. It’s spring! I’m feeling it. Easter is less than a week away, crocuses are already just about done blooming, daffs are due to show their sunny faces any day now, and perfectly green, fresh asparagus is in the market.
