My son LOVES this pie. In fact, this year he has asked me to make it for his birthday "cake." He first tasted what he called "Ken-ducky Derby Pie" at a family get together when he was 5 or 6; it is my sister's recipe. We still call it that.

When I was a newlywed, my older, more sophisticated sister told me about this (easy) fancy food: The Caprese Salad. It is a refreshing, delectable, comfort food. I love to fix it when we have steak.
