New Mommy continues to Bake Pies despite all obstacles...

Yes, the WannabePieChef continues...despite the obvious life change of becoming a Mommy.  I have made it through almost 10 months of mommy-hood, and not many pies were made, but indeed a new pie was discovered.  The store-bought Pie! No--just kidding.  My creation of the past season was a chilaquiles pie, and it's basically a taco pie.  Layer in the totopos and ground beef or whatever your flavor, chicken or steak; a layer of refried beans and jalepeños and onions (fresh or sauteéd) and of course the queso. A layer of salsa goes in between. Bake for as long as it takes to make it all melty and yummy.  Put some fresh chopped tomatoes on top.  Pour on some hot sauce as you like.  You could sub in eggs and make it a brunch thing, or chorizo, or mushrooms and more cheese.  I made this pie for my mexican relatives and they agreed that I can finally cook. (Andalé!) Stay tuned for the Christmas 2015 pie coming soon!
