strawberry rhubarb pie! My roommate just baked one the other day and it was delicious!
Love, love, love this recipe for rhubarb cakehttp://allrecipes.com/Recipe/rhubarb-cake-i/detail.aspx
I only used 1C of sugar...and substituted Stoneyfield Vanilla yogurt for the buttermilk. You could also use sour cream! So yummy! You can eat it for breakfast, like a coffee cake...or any time of day!
Your rhubarb looked wonderful!
I love rhubarb anything!
My newest favorite way to use rhubarb: make syrup for pancake night! Chop 1 cup fruit, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup water...boil down to desired consistency. (I usually serve immediately...will thicken after it is refrigerated~ then I use as jam!) If I have them, I like to throw in a few raspberries for a beautiful color.
I love your rhubarb photos! And I LOVE rhubarb in pies. Here is a recipe for rhubarb pie that I made last summer that came out fabulous. Glad to see your posts again!

I love making rhubarb crisp with either berries or apples. This is a favorite in our house: http://choicesustenance.blogspot.com/2011/05/blue-barb-crisp.html
We also made rhubarb margaritas this year, and they were delicious!
My husband LOVES rhubarb pie and I usually make him one for his birthday. Here's the recipe I use: http://kickinkitch.blogspot.com/2009/07/fresh-rhubarb-pie.html The crust is super flaky and the rhubarb is perfectly sweetened.
