Happy Tasty Tuesday!
Who’s in the mood for Morselicious Veggie Pot Pies?!
First: the Filling:
Chopped Carrots, Zucchini, Peas
Fresh Parsley
Pepper
Apple Cider Vinega
Cayenne
Mix well
In separate bowl: the TOPPING
Add 4 TBSP Water to
3/4 – 1 C MORSELICIOUS MIX
3/4 Mashed Sweet Potato
I used Muffin Tins for smaller pot pies
and sprayed the tins with Olive Oil
then scooped the Veggie Filling into each tin
and covered with Morselicious Pie Crust
Bake for 16-22 minutes on 350
and serve with a simple slaw or salad!
Mmmmmmm
I just read this article with horrifying
facts in DIABETIC LIVING MAGAZINE:

Frozen meals are convenient, but their high sodium and fat content can make them unhealthy choices
One of the biggest culprits is the ultimate comfort food — potpie. Whether you pick up a frozen variety at the market or order one at a restaurant, the potpie is a megaviolator:
