When I saw rhubarb at a farmers market a few days ago, I just knew I had to bring it home and try a new recipe! Result: Walnut Rhubarb Bread. It’s really yummy. The bread is sweet, but not overly sweet, and the tangy bits of rhubarb stand out…in a good way! If you don’t have a farmers market nearby, most grocery stores and organic markets are carrying rhubarb these days. Try to find some, make this bread, and enjoy!

Walnut Topping:
