In the kitchen

I have this addiction...an addiction to cookbooks. I have a shelf full of them, yet I always feel the need to add more and more to my collection. So last night, I was looking through a newer book that was sent for review -- The Food Journal of Lewis & Clark -- and found this incredible recipe that now I'm dying to try.

Imagine a raspberry pie. We all know just how tasty a raspberry pie is--especially if you top it with vanilla ice cream (and the Breyers Low Carb version is pretty tasty!) Raspberry Pie and Vanilla ice cream remind me of my grandmother's cooking. So it's a nostalgia thing, but I digress.

This "pie" recipe actually uses a pastry crust, raspberry filling and then instead of forming a pie, you roll it up into a pinwheel like creation. I have a feeling that this is about to become a family favorite. I just can't wait to test the recipe out today. It's supposed to rain AGAIN, so I think an afternoon of baking is in store.

And speaking of baking --- my rhubarb is ready. Anyone have recipes to share?
