Yup, this is about as inspired in cooking I am right now. It was hot today and I had roma tomatoes. I made homemade pico de gallo with them which is great in warm weather. Then I thought about what to use it for. I have always wanted to make this, though it was going to be served in a "Fritos" bag. This is the bowl version, therefore called a "pie".

Cooking is my hobby and I love it. It relieves my stress. I use recipes as a base line...I find a few and compare. Then I make my own personal concoction from what I've learned.

I hope he makes some of these dishes one day...One of the nicest things he's said to me is that he's never had a bad meal with me, at home or at a restaurant (research wins!).

Anyway, I decided to try and make something to celebrate the day, mostly just trying to occupy my mind for a short while giving it something to focus on. I totally stole the idea from my favorite food blogger, so I thank her for the inspiration. My burrito is not traditional and has no rice either, it's just what I put together. I love, love, love pico de gallo so that is always the star of the show for me. What I used for two:
