Rhubarb Pudding


Before the Internet, the best place to score a great recipe was from a friend or a co-worker. They (the recipes) would be scribbled down on a piece of notebook paper, photocopied from a frayed recipe card, or neatly typed on the company letterhead. You'd see a pinch of this, a can of that, and a handful of those with notes in the margins as to the best changes to make. Nowadays, a quick search on Pinterest will yield a plethora of great looking recipes....but which ones can you trust? Luckily, friends and co-workers still come through with some mighty good finds. Now they may come by way of email instead of notebook paper, and they may have originated on Pinterest, but you know they've been tested and approved...not a bad way to find a fun new recipe. Such was the case for this awesome Rhubarb Pudding.....



I am so lucky to have a co-worker who brings me bags of produce....

This recipe came to me via email. The subject line was: Awesome Recipe. Guess what? It is an awesome recipe! I did a quick Google search and found that it originally came from Allrecipes.com. I didn't change much, but here it is:

I confess to making this twice. As you can see, the rhubarb was a little more red the first time.
