National Pot Pie Day

I love me some Pot Pie. I'm sure that means something different these days in Colorado

and Washington State, but for me, it'll always mean a delicious, flakey, meat & veggie filled concoction that taste great on a cold winter day.

Growing up it was Banquet Pot Pies from the stove. When the microwave came about, it took a few years before they made a good pot pie. The change for me came when I tried Marie Callender's pot pies. They stick a warming element in the box so the microwave actually browns the crust. Amazing.

Some restaurants try to do pot pies. Here is your litmious test. If you order a pot pie and the pie only has a crust on top, that is an epic fail. A pot pie is jut that, a pie. Filling inside a crust, not filling inside a pan with dough on the top. I'm looking at you KFC.

If you have the time today, run by the store and pick up a few pot pies for supper tonight. You'll be glad you did.
