Weekly Recipe:Rhubarb Struesal Muffins and Iced Mocha
Mmmm...I love rhubarb!
Here's a muffin recipe that even the 'non-rhubarb lovers' in our family like. Hopefully it's not too hot in your part of the world to have the oven on. Unfortunately this recipe only calls for 1 cup of diced rhubarb, which I worked out to be about 1 stalk(depending on size), so it doesn't help you use it up quickly(if that's your case). The original recipe says that it makes 12 muffins, but I like my muffins BIG and so I never get that many.

Here is a way to make your own Iced Mochas. I saw it in the newspaper and I haven't actually made it yet, but it sure sounded good! Basically you make ice cubes with coffee and then blend them with chocolate milk.
Mmm...we're supposed to get some warm weather(finally!) this weekend and so I might try it. I'll let you know if I do! And please let me know if you do(or if you have another refreshing drink to share!
)Thanks for visiting today!
I hope you are basking in God's love for you!
