strawberry rhubarb pancakes

  

 

As a renter I have not yet been able to have my own garden, but I am lucky enough to have two generous sisters that live close to me and garden. I came home with a bunch of rhubarb last Sunday that I had chopped and put in the freezer with thoughts of muffins in my head. But Sunday morning I woke up and I had one breakfast wish: Strawberry Rhubarb Pancakes. I'd never had them before, nor heard of them, so I used a pancake recipe I liked and simply added the chopped rhubarb and diced up strawberries. Easy, tasty, and in season.
