Vegetable Pot Pie / Pies
"Finally comfort food for us vegetarians!! Posted for ZWT III these little guys are really good and the beauty part is you can make a lot of the filling and freeze it for later, and you can also vary the filling according to what vegetables you have left over."

so lovely -
Yum! Yum! Yum!! Easy to make, esp. when you use frozen pie crusts like I did. I made substitutions based on veggies I had on hand, and it was delicious. My family LOVED it and asked it be placed in our "rotation"! Thanks for sharing this delicious, easy recipe! -
I loved this recipe! I made a few changes to add to the deliciousness. I added sage, thyme and a splash of wine to the veggies, cooking them a bit on the stove. And for the roux, I added a boullion cube (veg) to the sauce when I added the milk. I also made this in a double pie crust. This all combined to a yummy and easy dinner!!

This was great! I subbed corn for the peas, spinach for the broccoli, and used homemade pie crust instead of puff pastry. It only cooked for 20 min, but was golden brown and bubbly. Delicious! Thanks for sharing! -
Great single serving pot pie. I also used bread crumb for the topping since I had no puff pastry and it came out great. I made 12 servings of this, 6 in mini ramekins and 2 in a larger casserole for dinner. The "mini" ones I sent off in lunches today and were well liked. Made for ZWT 3!

I've lived in Tucson for about five years now, and the experience has been great for my palate! For those of you that don't know, Tucson is a culinary Mecca; tons of amazing flavors, foods, and restaurants to investigate.
The above photo is a picture of my husband and I on our wedding day. He's the light of my life, and the main reason I'm glad I moved out here to the desert because I never would have met him if I hadn't!! To top it off, he's a great eater. It doesn't matter what I make, even if he doesn't like it he tells me between bites. (haha!) He loves my obsession with the Zaar because he's been eating really well since I started with the site. We recently bought our first house which is a starter home that we are working very hard on remodeling. Anyone with free advice for newbie homeowners lemme know because it has been a whirlwind!!
I am currently a full time employee at the UofA (GO WILDCATS!) and I love my job and the people that I work with. I am also a part time student seeking a Masters degree in Administration. I can't wait to be finished so that I can relax for a little while, cook, work on my house, and play with my two beautiful children who are pictured below (yes I'm aware that they are dogs, but they are OUR kids!!) The one on the left is our little blue heeler mix that we call Rumplestiltzkin (Bumpy for short) and the one on the left is the sweetest Chow Retriever Mix you'll ever meet. His name is Gaizen.
The picture of the two dippy looking people on Segways is one of my husband and I in Disney World this last October. We were soooo lucky to beable to go on the segway tour it was loads of fun! The cutie patutie right beside us is my little niece Rylee who I don't get to see nearly enough since my sister live in Ohio. She's couldn't be sweeter if you spread icing on her. The picture of the cake is one that I made for my DH's 27th birthday because he loves fish tanks. Anyone that wants the ingredients and how to build it lemme know it's really easy!!
My Rating System:
5 stars-RUN don't walk to your grocery store, buy the ingredients and make this!
4 stars-Great recipe and I want to try it again but would probably make changes to it
3 stars-Pretty good recipe that I liked but probably will only make occasionally
I don't like to give less than three stars because everyone is different and has different taste buds. I also will not give a recipe less than four stars if I myself made changes to the recipe and then didn't like the way it turned out. If I screw a recipe up entirely (I have been known to do this especially with baked goods) I don't bother even rating it. The one thing that is really hard to say here at the Zaar is "I will definitly make this again" not because soooo many recipes that I have tried are not worthy of making again, but because there are so many more out there that I haven't tried yet! Every time I think of repeating one of my favorites I find myself on here about to look it up, and then finding something just as interesting, unique, and delicious sounding that I just have to try!!
