"This layered pie is good for the soul but not the waistline. Not sure where it came from as it's handwritten on a piece of notebook paper. Enjoy!! Cooking time is refrigeration time."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a wife and homeschooling mother of 2 beautiful and rowdy little boys. Recipes have always facinated me and I'll admit that I read more of them than I try. I'm in no way, shape or form a chef. I just enjoy simple down home cooking and comfort foods. We travel all over the country with my husband's job and this has provided a wonderful opportunity to get a "taste" for each region. I have been in 37 states and have enjoyed a little of each one, but Pennsylvania will always be home.
