Kick ass, take names.

First prize

I won first prize at the company picnic Bake-Off. My Strawberry Rhubarb Pie took names, people. I ran out of pie after 30 minutes and there were still at least 15 desserts on the table. There was a cheesecake, lemon meringue, pumpkin cookies, and so many other delicious items. Aside from the fabulous prizes above, I also won a gift certificate to Starbucks and a chip & dip set (very exciting)

Strawberries are now in season so bake and enjoy!

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1 pint fresh rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, halved
  • 9 inch unbaked pie shell

TOPPING:

  •   3/4 cup  flour
  •   1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  •   1/2 cup quick-cooking or rolled oats
  •   1/2 cup cold butter
                                                                                                                                                        
  1. In a large mixing bowl beat egg. Add the sugar, flour and vanilla; mix well. Gently fold in rhubarb and strawberries. Pour into pastry shell.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and oats. Cut in the butter until the mixture crumbles. Sprinkle over pie until the top is covered. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F bake for 35 minutes more. cool to warm before serving.
