homade tomato pie.....yum

Tomato Pie

1 pre-baked pie shell

Spread 2 Tablespoons or so of any kind of mustard you like on baked pie shell crust.

Place 1 layer of sliced tomatoes in bottom of crust. (I also added some sliced Vidalia onions on top of the tomatoes but you don't have to).

Sprinkle the 1st layer of tomatoes with a layer of cheese..any kind you like. I used a mixture of shredded cheeses like you buy in the store already pre-packaged.

Place another layer of tomatoes on top of that...sprinkle with (onions if you want again) and then another layer of cheese.  Work your way to the top of the pie crust.

You end with cheese layer.

For the topping you can mix 1/2 cup of mayo and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese..spread over cheese and tomato layers. (You do not have to use this last step ..it is super rich...but it makes it good...but you can just have your last layer cheese or maybe top with bacon bits or something). If you need more you can always increase the mayo another 1/4 cup and same for Parmesan cheese...

Bake in 350 to 375 degree oven for about 15 to 20 minutes..till golden brown and bubbly on top.

Cool slightly so juice will set up some...slice and enjoy!

This is one of the best tomato pie recipes I have ever had or made!

a new recipe......Spicy Chicken Tacos......

My son wanted me to make this new recipe from his Rachel Ray cookbook.....I almost forgot to take the macro shot before I ate it all up!

Spicy Chicken Tacos...




and I do admit they were very good although I did change the recipe a bit. Here is the recipe:

1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (once around the pan)
1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into very small cubes
1 small onion chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1 cup tomato puree
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin (I left this out)
handful of coarsely chopped Spanish olives with pimentos (I did not use so many)
a handful of golden raisins (I also left this out)
coarse salt to taste
8 jumbo corn taco shells or flour tortillas for soft tacos

Toppings:
Shredded cheeses, onions tomatoes, lettuce, avocadoes

Heat a big skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and chicken and cook till chicken is brown. Add onion and garlic and cook till onion is soft. Add tomato puree, and spices and olives. (raisins too if you are adding them). Bring to bubble and reduce heat to keep warm till ready to serve.

Toast/warm taco shells according to package instructions.

Scoop filling into shells or tortillas and top with your favorite toppings.

AS Rachel would say.....YUM-O!!!
