POT PIE!

broccoli / carrot / comfort / meals / mushrooms / potato

this is my first attempt at a potpie. i’ve never made one, and barely eaten them. so i made one crazy delicious mistake, and made this into more of a pot-cake than a pot pie. why? it is huge. there is a TON of a filling and it’s very deep. i always like a lot of filling to crust (or veg to starch) when it comes to any food, so i was okay with this […]

DOUGH (adapted from mark bittman’s “how to cook everything vegetarian”) 2 c. unbleached flour (and more for rolling out) 1/2 […]
