Frito Pie Frenzy

Last night, Holly hosted (what turned out to be) a three course Frito Pie Dinner (Frito Lays covered in chili and topped with various fixings). Frito Pie is mainly popular in the Southern United States and has many variations- such as baked as a casserole, served in small plates or single serving Frito bags.  Frito Pie is usually served with shredded nacho cheese, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and shredded scallions. Holly's Frito Pie was delicious (comparable nachos and chili) and a treat (I haven't had Fritos since I was a kid). You can make Frito Pie with any Chili Recipe.

The most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time--during the Dinner I found myself ignoring conversation and just admiring the pile of doughnuts
In addition, Beth came to the Dinner with homemade doughnuts--which are impressive as it is--but Beth brought homemade doughnuts topped with either chopped Bacon, dried Apples, Peanuts and Pretzels and sometimes all three.
