With strawberries in abundance now, this is a good time to try something different and something good for those with diabetes. Also, this is for anyone who is watching their weight. I don’t remember who gave this to me or if the recipe is one of mine.
I think I tried this when I was on Weight Watchers because I used Butter Beads a lot. Anyway, I enjoyed this several times.
So did my husband, Gene, and Brock Hopper, who also was a Type 1 diabetic. This doesn’t call for fresh strawberries, but I like to add them (and/or bananas).
Sugar-Free Strawberry-Banana Pie
1 package strawberry sugar-free gelatin
1 package sugar-free banana pudding
2 cups hot water
• Add together and cook until it thickens — about 5 minutes (or after it begins to boil)
1/2 package Butter Beads (optional)
• Pour into lite graham cracker crust.
• Place in refrigerator until it sets.
• Cover with lite Cool Whip. Garnish with strawberries.

TRIED ’N’ TRUE: Whip up a rhubarb surprise cake
This recipe comes from Ruth Baker. She sent a lot of rhubarb recipes. I have been putting them in the paper for the last three years. I’ve almost used most of them. Some I have used more than others. Mary Hunter also had this recipe. I have made this a lot. Gene really likes this. I use sweetener and yellow or white sugar-free cake mix. The only sugar I put in this recipe is in the marshmallows. Adjust for this. Our grandkids also enjoy this cake. Thanks to Ruth and Mary.
