Pie. Lots of pie.

Yesterday was national pie day, so we had to celebrate. First course, mini pot pies. I used a combo of recipes. . . This one for the crust and this one for the filling. They were ridiculous. I am reminded of all the pot pies I used to eat in college (freshmen 15 anyone?) and [...]

Veggie Burger with Muhammara
