My First Tomato Pie.....YUM!

Let me start by saying that I am not a HUGE tomato fan. I eat them, but not by themselves (unless they have been prepared with that yummy Feta cheese and balsamic vinegar). So, several months ago when my friend Alicia came to work telling me that her mom made tomato pie I was really not interested in trying it. Alicia went on to say how much she loved to eat it and that I should try it sometime.

A couple of weeks ago, Alicia and I were talking again and she mentioned that a friend of hers had posted a tomato pie recipe on her blog complete with pictures and helpful tips. This sparked my curiosity because I had never seen tomato pie before, so I visited the blog. The post was great. It gave step by step instructions on how to make the recipe and had pictures of each step. This is good for me because when I'm cooking from a new recipe, I always wonder if I'm doing it correctly.

Last night, I made my first attempt at tomato pie. My mom grows tomatoes, so I had homegrown tomatoes. However, I didn't have all the fresh ingredients like fresh basil and green onions, so I substituted dried basil and onion powder. My tomato pie was awesome, if I do say so! ;-) I have added it to my favorite recipes now. It would have probably been even better if I had the fresh ingredients....
