Ross Reck: Sharing Recipes: A Great Way to Spread Joy

I enjoy cooking and baking and when I come across a recipe that is simple, quick, easy, and delicious, I love to share it. Several years ago, my friend Nancy shared her recipe for a “crustless blueberry pie” which I have renamed “blueberry cake/pie” because it’s a cake that’s baked in a glass pie pan. The first time I made it, I was overjoyed—the pie was fantastic, and it made the house smell wonderful. I was so excited that I took a photo of it and posted it on Facebook. Requests for the recipe immediately came pouring in. Then when these people made it and served it to their friends and guests, I would get emails and messages like, “My dinner guests raved about it and insisted on getting the recipe!” This, of course, brings a little joy to my life. I heard from another friend recently who made this cake/pie for her family. When she went to bed there was one piece left. Here’s what she had to say the next morning, “So this morning I thought a slice of cake/pie would be good with my coffee, but I can’t find it or the empty plate. Went to hang up shirts in my son’s room and in his bed was the empty plate and a fork.” How joyful!!
