For this week’s TWD recipe, Amanda from Like Sprinkles on a Cupcake chose the Cherry & Rhubard Cobbler. Forget the fact that I don’t really like rhubarb… around here, there was NONE to be found!! I tried 6 different grocery stores in my town and no one had it in stalk (hee, hee!).
So, I decided to sub the rhubarb with peaches and boy, am I glad I did - it was SO tasty! The biscuit topping was a little disappointing, but hopefully, third time’s a charm and with the next time I make it, it’ll be fabulous.

That looks so pretty! Subbing peaches is a great idea.. they’re so sweet and juicy.

Peaches sound wonderful — I always think they taste so good with a bit of ginger. Yours sure looks great — better luck with the topping next time!

Your funny…stalk LOL…same for me here in Lebanon. When my friend finally realized what I was looking for he was ohhhh that’s already finished! Seasons over.
Bummer…but oh well, next time perhaps. Might have to camp out on opening Rhubarb day or something.
Your pictures are wonderful and I look forward to your post next week.
