How delicious does this cobbler look?

This is another request from Ashton.
He loves Rhubarb Cobbler and I {gasp!} have never cooked nor eaten rhubarb. I found rhubarb in the product section of my local grocery store. It looks like an intimidating pink root-stick thing but heck I am a foodie and I will try anything once so I bought a few pieces and set out to create a Rhubarb Cobbler for my hubby.

I looked through many, many cobbler recipes but this one from the Pioneer Woman blog caught my eye. I appreciated her simple steps and I liked her drop biscuit type cobbler topping. Verdict: I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. This cobbler tasted like a sweet/tart, gooey/rich cherry like cobbler. So Ashton was right again! Just don’t tell him I said that
