Tasty Tidbits

 
Our rhubarb is growing like crazy & I've been taking advantage of that. Newest rhubarb food to love: vegan ice cream!  Made with coconut milk, it's pretty healthy as far as ice cream goes, & it even has minimal sugar (1/2 cup, all of which is maple syrup). One of the main issues with using rhubarb in desserts is the high sugar content used to combat the tartness of the fruit. We don't mind things a bit tart, but the coconut milk also helped to counter the tartness in this treat. It's hard to describe the final flavor, but I think the closest thing I can relate it to is a strawberry-lime flavor. Anyway, it was delicious!
 
The farm market in town opens today & I can't wait to see what goodies they have this year. After that, we're heading on a bike ride. I'm so happy for warm weekends again because that means we get to start our summer biking days!
 
Happy May! Enjoy your weekend!
