Why we love Mexican Cornbread Pie Recipe  

Mexican Cornbread Pie Recipe has a lil’ bit of kick to it but don’t be afraid of the jalapeños… the corn bread calms them right down so it’s just plain delightful!

Our family loves this recipe, we first enjoyed it at my best friend Carol’s house one night when she invited us to dinner. It’s true it takes a village to raise a child.–Carol and I have been a part of each others village for 15 years now.

I’m so grateful for good friends like her!
