PINTO BEAN PIE
Gammy (as my mom, Barbara Galloway, is known around here) loves to cook and be creative. It's a trait that was passed down from her father. Pinto Bean Pie is one of her favorite recipes to make, especially when she's planning special holiday meals. If you'd like to dress up each slice, top them with a dollop of whipped cream and a pecan. -Valerie Elijah, Dayton, Ohio
