I always love this time of year. The excitement of the nicer weather, the crop season starting, the rhubarb popping up, the tulips blooming and the greenhouse shopping. We started a tradition a few years ago now and we go as a family to the greenhouse to get flowers for the yard for the year for Mother’s day. This year the Dahlias were beautiful, so I got some of those along with some of the classics like Supertunias and Marigolds. I have most of them planted which is a little early, I know, but I will bring them inside if we get any danger of frost.
The recipe I am sharing this week came from my mother-in-law’s kitchen. I love the tradition that some recipes hold. One of the things I am thankful for this Mother’s day is the wisdom that my mother and mother-in-law share about things in the kitchen. From recipes, to how to can something, it is a blessing. I hope you were able to find joy in Mother’s day this year whether it was from you being celebrated or thinking about memories of your mom. As Mothers we have an important job to do in helping raise this next generation to love the Lord. If you are a Mother reading this Happy [belated] Mother’s Day to you!
This week I am going to share one last rhubarb recipe with you all…for now. I hope you have found some new recipes to try with rhubarb season starting! This recipe is definitely one of my favorite rhubarb pies and a favorite with my husbands’ family. The recipe came from my mother-in-law and it is a pretty and delicious one! She often makes it for family gatherings.

2 cups rhubarb, diced
2 eggs
