Wild Edibles...from our yard

It's back...the rhubarb plants, that is.  As you can see from Cora's face, she's wondering if this is the year I will use enough to stay ahead of the plant before it starts to look like "Audrey" from Little Shop of Horrors.

So far I've made rhubarb strudel bread, 2 batches of rhubarb chutney and vanilla rhubarb simple syrup to be used later this summer in my rhubarb fizz cocktails.


This year, I also harvested some spruce tips from the gigantic spruce trees in our yard.  This particular batch I used in some spruce tip shortbread cookies.
