Bountiful Blessings and Sour Cream Rhubarb Pie!

Yesterday I took pictures of the garden and different flowers around the yard. I’ve been telling you how the garden is growing like a wildfire!! So, thought I’d give you an idea of what I’m talking about!

These are our tomato plants. That is Lloyd standing amidst them. The cattle panel cages he made are attached to t-posts. Cattle panel is 4 feet tall! The ones in the foreground are cherry tomatoes, he’s standing next to a Big Boy (I think)…uh…yeah…BIG Boy!

 Banana Peppers! About 20 per plant and still coming! Um, multiply that by…oh I dunno…4-6 plants out there! *GASP* that’s A LOT!

Then there’s Bell Peppers and oh my… the Tomatillos! I wanted to try an recreate the salsa from Chipotle. I think I’ll have enough Tomatillos to SUPPLY Chipotle!!!

And here are some of the flowers, along with some peppers, the tomatillo plant with flowers and a little bird nest I discovered with 2 little babies in it!

Then, my brother is to blame for the next picture! He sent me this recipe for Sour Cream Rhubarb Pie…I HAD to make it…!!!

Oh, Yummo!! I made it this morning and took it to church for a potluck dinner afterwards. Here’s the recipe…

Sour Cream Rhubarb Pie

• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon sald
• 3 cups chopped fresh rhubarb

crumb topping

• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup butter, softened

1. Preheat oven to 375*F (190* C)
2. Beat 1 1/4 cups sugar, sour cream, eggs and 2 tablespoons flour in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt. Fold in rhubarb. Pour rhubarb mixture into pie shell.
3. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Meanwhile, combine 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in butter with a fork or pastry  blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
4. Remove pie from oven. Reduce temperature to 350*F (175*C). Sprinkle topping mixture evenly over pie. Return to oven and bake until filling is set and crust and topping are golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Let cool, if you can wait that long…enjoy!!
