Cooking/ memories

I love to cook and try new things with being so busy this last little while I have not been able to enjoy trying new recipes. My parents and I have shared a garden this year which has been fun K'Lee loved watching the plants come up and now picking the veggies and fruit. So I have been finding recipes and ways to bottle things so that our food storage can grow. When we were planting the garden my mom had this huge plant in the corner I asked her what it was she smiled and said Rhubarb the memories it brought back from us kids picking it at grandma bensons and eating it. I loved her Strawberry Rhubarb pie with ice cream it was always a treat to eat. So I was on a quest to find a recipe. All the recipes I found took forever to make and I was having a hard time finding time to make them I found this recipe and made it. It's not the same at pie but it's still really yummy I was going to take pictures but they are all gone.
