Cooking Tip:

• When picking out rhubarb, the redder ones tend to be sweeter, while the greener ones tend to be more tart.

Stay healthy with Annie:

• I bought some GeeFree puff pastry dough, and made the mistake of not realizing how much oils (palm, canola, as the top ingredients) was in it until I made the pastry. The pastry turned out delicious, but next time I will either be using a frozen GF pie-crust, or making my own to try this recipe with again.

• Rhubarb has a beautiful tartness to them. Delicious in desserts, key in using these will be not to accidentally add too much sugar/other sweet ingredients with them.
