Simply Stewed Rhubarb Compote by TheDevineKitchen
Rhubarb is the fruit of the season (technically a vegetable)! Although too tart for most to be eaten raw, it’s wonderful stewed. A small amount of sweetness complements its distinct tartness perfectly. Enjoy it for breakfast over plain yogurt, granola or in a parfait, or with oatmeal or crepes. It’s wonderful as a dessert sauce over ice cream, over cheesecake, with pound cake and more. It’s perfect with tapioca or chia seed pudding. Layer it in a custard or in a trifle. It also makes for delicious chutney with the addition of acid and savory spices.

Skillet Corn by TheDevineKitchen
Our daughter loved this side dish so I’m passing the recipe along. It’s simply cooked partially frozen corn in hot oil, alliums, and spice in a cast iron skillet. Once again I’m utilizing frozen food during the off-season.

Tofu Spread by TheDevineKitchen
I’ve been enjoying this recipe for years. It resembles cream cheese, for vegans and fans of tofu, although not quite the same in texture. I spread it on toasted bagels and rice cakes.
