the verdict
Our Mother’s Day meal was a smashing success! Originally, Mom had planned on making a “side dish” of h*m for my stepdad, but to my surprise and delight, when I got there, I learned he wanted to eat what I had made. The dessert had been conceived with him in mind, seeing as he is a fellow peanut butter fiend, but the main meal? I had concerns. LOL.
Mom chopped veggies (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions) for a side salad. We each wrapped some of the bean/mushroom/pepper/squash mixture into our warmed corn tortillas with a little of the salad fixings for texture and temperature contrast. Delicious! The rest we just scooped onto our plates beside more salad. Everyone enjoyed their meal and filled up.
Despite having seconds though, we left room for dessert! Mom had never had peanut butter pie, so she had nothing to which to compare it. However, my step-father has had it in diners across the country while trucking, made with either cream cheese, or eggs and whole cream. Even after knowing the secret to this pie was TOFU (shhhh…), he said it stacked up well to the typically fat-laden kind. 
We split the remaining pie, which we all agreed we could have easily continued eating. Here is the last piece just before I devoured it today:
