Thank you, this is easy and yummy, too. Might be nice with pears or peaches, too.

Fresh fruit makes a fantastic dessert or snack. April in Seattle offers very little fresh locally grown fruit. About the only one that comes to mind is the one you mentioned - Rhubarb. Last week, I poached rhubarb in white wine with a vanilla bean and lavender-infused sugar. While it was still warm, I drizzeled this sauce over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.Delish. Can’t wait to try your rhubarb recipe.

This recipe is so tempting and healthy! Can’t wait to try it, I am wondering about adding slivered almonds or chopped walnuts to add a little crunch. The apples, arugula and goat cheese--- YUM!

Thanks for posting!

Ivy,

These recipes sound yummy. I will be making the Grilled Ceasar Salad today. Grilling romaine, easy and delicous, is especially nice on a cold day. The tomotao fennel soup would also be great when ice and snow are in the forecast. Thanks for sharing.

Great article. I poached some quince this winter, and made quince jelly with the poaching liquid. Your idea of making a quince syrup to use for drinks, desserts or to spoon over ice cream is a fantastic one! Thank you!

Love these tips! Thanksgiving preparation can be a real joy with a little advance planning. Cooking while watching a movie is something we have not tried. This is a great idea!
