A sweet saucy filling packed into a buttery, flaky pie crust and topped with ice cream is sure to be a family favorite!

Simple Rhubarb Pie

My heart hangs on my sleeve, so I randomly get emotional about things that wouldn’t make a normal person cry. One Sunday, when my son was little, I was in the kitchen making Strawberry Rhubarb Overnight Oats and my husband and son were downstairs.

When I went downstairs I found them building with Lincoln Logs and playing with cars. I stopped in my tracks, my husband and I made eye contact, and my eyes started welling up with tears. The shocked look on my son’s face from my random tears was enough to make me laugh myself out of sobbing! I told my husband that he is a good Dad, he smiled, and I went on my way.

Life is good, especially when you are eating a slice of this Fresh Rhubarb Pie, Strawberry Rhubarb Streusel Cheesecake Bars, or Rhubarb Dream Bars!
