Summer brings lots of great things, but one of my favorite things about the warmer months is all the fresh, local produce available. Rhubarb is just so summer to me, especially when mixed with strawberry. Last summer I made lots of strawberry-rhubarb muffins and this summer I'm back at it again. I try to make them often, since they're easy to bring along in the morning for Steve.

these look amazing. Mr. Riggs has the right idea with a muffin in one hand and fresh, cold milk in the other :)
