My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.

Dessert - Rhubarb Dream

I absolutely love rhubarb.  For years I've been trying to grow it in my garden from roots purchased from Lowes and from mail order stores.    So far, no luck.  This year, my dad dug up a clump of rhubarb from their patch and I transplanted it into my garden  Easter weekend.  After about one month, the plants are doing very well. I'm so excited!  Can't wait to make my first batch of rhubarb sauce.

Following is a recipe from Grandma's collection.

1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
5 Tbsp powdered sugar

Mix and press into 8 x 8" pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

2 eggs beaten
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
Dash of salt
2 cups finely chopped rhubarb

Pour into baked crust.  Bake until rhubarb mixture is set.  About 20 mins.
