Good as Grandma's Rhubarb Pie

-
When I think of summer, I think of rhubarb pie. My grandma always made the best pie and we rarely had it anywhere else. Now that I have a garden of my own and have a rhubarb explosion, this seems as good a time as any to learn how to make my grandma's rhubarb pie. This tasty pie is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth without breaking your diet, and at only $0.35/per serving it won't break your budget either! See nutrition and cost information at the bottom of the post.


What You'll Need
4 Cups Diced Rhubarb (1/2" Pieces)
1 Cup Sugar
6 Tbsp. Flour
1 Egg (large)
3-6 Tbsp Butter or Margarine
2 Pie Crusts


  • Preheat Oven to 425


  • Mix rhubarb, sugar, and egg together. Slowly add flour.
  • Roll out pie crusts. Place one into a greased 9" pie pan.
  • Fill pie crust with rhubarb mixture. Add dollops of butter/margarine to the top of the rhubarb mixture.
  • Top with remaining pie crust and press edges down with fork or thumb. Trim outside pie crust and save for other pies or make Pie Crust Cookies to prevent any waste.  
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake another 40-45 minutes. When it is lightly browned on top it is finished.
Enjoy!

Spring has sprung and Easter is around the corner! Such a fun time, filled with bright colors, candy, family, and more. It can also be a scary food time -- candy filled with corn syrup and other artificial ingredients, eggs dyed with petroleum products, and thousands of empty calories to name a few issues. I can't stop you from overindulging on your ham dinner, but I can help out reducing some of the artificial ingredients you're putting at your table this year. Colored Easter eggs have long been a staple at Easter time, whether you hide them for a Easter Egg hunt or put them out as decoration. Coloring Easter eggs is also just plain fun! That is until you start looking at what is in that dye you are using. Yellow 5, Red 40, blue 2.... Does that sound like something your body can digest well? If you dig a bit deeper you find that these colors are actually petroleum based and are known carcinogens. Yet we use these on food we are feeding our families. This year you can
