The day before my mom started cooking the pies and sometimes she made ROMPOPE! Yes, this might sounds weird, but we had to travel "My mom style".  And the food was part of the road trip experience!

Then I started making these pies during lent season, it is so delicious and a great recipe to make it with all the family! 

Hope you enjoy it!
