Double-Chocolate Rhubarb Tart

This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making a tart, something always appreciated in our house. As soon as we picked this item to make I started scouring the grocery stores for rhubarb, an elusive item at times. I found some rhubarb at one of my local grocery stores, Pavilions, and snatched up 4…

Strawberry-Rhubarb Squares

I am certainly having trouble getting back into the swing of things post vacation, post cold, etc… This week’s baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie called for rhubarb which I was unable to find, we went to three grocery stores. I ended up just using sliced strawberries. We actually thought this cake was pretty plain…

Strawberry Tart

This tart is supposed to have a bottom layer of poached rhubarb but after going to three grocery stores I ended up empty handed, so strawberry tart it is.

Mostly Rhubarb Tart

Roasted Rhubarb

When I think of roasted rhubarb, it reminds me of Knott’s Berry Farm chicken dinner. The only time I ever ate rhubarb in a dish growing up was at Knott’s Berry Farm, Dorie has provided us with the French version in Baking Chez Moi. Since the Angostura bitters were optional I decided to leave them…

Streusal-Topped Rhubarb Lime Tart

Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi I voted for this tart as we loved Dorie’s rhubarb cake we made two years ago. Dorie’s crust and streusal topping are really the star of this dish. My husband likes to joke that you could put cardboard between the two and it would taste good. This was a…

Rhubarb Upside Down Brown Sugar Cake

This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking Rhubarb Upside Down Brown Sugar Cake from Baking Chez Moi.  When this recipe was picked I casually checked the grocery stores to see if rhubarb was available and it was.  But as luck would have it the week I need to buy it I can’t find it….
