Frito Pie – Throw Back Thursday

Posted on October 14, 2021 by HelenFern

I remember making Frito pie on camping trips. Dad would make up a pot of chili. He’d open the top of our little bag of Fritos and put a scoop of chili inside. Top it off with some grated cheese and grab a spoon. We loved it. But it wasn’t just a camp food.

So let’s look at how the food we eat and that ultimately fuels our bodies and minds is part of an industry that is changing rapidly and in exciting ways. Continue reading →
