mini-pumpkin pies
November 10th, 2011
No matter how full I am, or how tight my pants are, or how much I want to lay in the fetal position in the corner while the room spins from too much food, I will always, always make room for pumpkin pie.
Autumn Vegetable Pot Pie

This Autumn Vegetable Pot Pie is the definition of hard core comfort food to me. But what you wouldn’t expect is that this is also really easy to make.
