Happy Victoria Day!
There’s nothing like a second brunch day of the week. If you aren’t too hungover, and know you’re neighbour, parents or Nicastro Il Negozio have rhubarb, trim off about 4 stalks and follow this recipe as a topping for your favourite pancake or waffle recipe!
Other pancake tips: After cooking half your plain pancake batter, add about 1/4 cup coco powder + 1 tbsp sugar and make the second batch chocolatey! Coco is full of iron, so don’t feel guilty about this one. Instead of maple syrup, try some molasses for an extra iron boost!
