It's National Pot Pie Day in the U.S., Saturday, September 23, 2023! What are you making?

I would make a pot pie had I known before, but this is the second day I've had char siu marinating so that's what we are having.

We were a day early, but we had Banquet beef pot pies for lunch yesterday. We were hoping that frozen pot pies had improved over the years. They haven't. We ended up throwing out most. Wouldn't even feed it to the hens!

Try Marie Calendar's. Don't get the smallest ones, they come in 3 sizes, as the pastry/filling ratio is way skewed in a not good way. The middle ones are a hearty meal for me. We have them on occasion.

We had green beans, macaroni & cheese, cucucmbers and tomatoes from the garden, little boiled potatoes, Hershey Dark Chocolate kisses for dessert.

I’m still a fan of the inexpensive Banquet turkey pot pies.

When I was starting out they were five for a dollar and helped me through many tough times.

Tonight is a slice of pizza, carrot and celery sticks with blue cheese dressing and an ice cold Diet Pepsi.

Darn, don't tell DH it's pot pie day! It's too late to make one!

We have leftover za'atar-seasoned cooked chicken and Mexican-seasoned cooked chicken. I'm going to make some rice pilaf and top it with chicken and other toppings for Mexican or Middle Eastern chicken and rice bowls.

Cauliflower wings and slabs of yellow and red peppers, battered, breaded, baked. Served with or without stir fry sauce. I like the peppers better than the cauliflower.
Meal sized salads if either of us is still hungry.

Char siu and Chef Jet Li's "fluffy" fried rice with my own touches.

With my stress levels through the roof (explanation in the Petty Vents II thread), we ordered out. We had burrito bowls. They were good enough that I ate too much.

I've got a couple of chicken breasts in the sous vide. I'm making something @Jusa inspired with them. Using a similar sauce, but, like I said, sous vide for the chicken. We'll have a rice dish too...but now, back to Virgin River!!! S5- E6...

Coincidentally, I'm making my homemade chicken pot pie for Sunday dinner tomorrow, but had no idea that today was National Pot Pie Day.

I used leftover roast chicken (from the grocery store) to whip up a chicken noodle soup. Served it with Pillsbury grands biscuits. Tasty.

I made a one dish meal (sort of) today in the Instant Pot, after making a tomato sauce last night, using an onion and some garlic, sautéed in olive oil, with some fresh marjoram and basil blended with the tomatoes, and simmered down about 30 minutes, then used that today - about 1½ qts. of thick sauce.

Today I started with a 14 oz pack of kielbasa that I cubed up, then cooked in sauté mode, until fairly well browned, and a generous amount of fat cooked out, and I transferred it to a plate with a PT. I poured out about 2 tb fat, and added about 1 tb olive oil, and started cooking a diced up bell pepper, and some chopped mildly hot peppers I had sitting around, and about 3 c of eggplant cubes. After the EP started browning I added about 2 c of okra, trimmed and cut to about 3/4", and I added the tomato sauce from last night, scraping up the fond from the bottom, returned the kielbasa to the pan, with about 3/4 c black quinoa, and just a little salt, since the sausage has salt. I put the cover on, then set the pressure cooker to 1 minute, and after it beeps, let the pressure release 10 minutes, then let the rest out. Then I stirred in about 2 cups of leftover cooked brown rice, and let it sit about 10 minutes, to absorb the remaining water. Then I stirred in about 1/4 c freshly chopped basil, and that was it.

We checked into a resort in Tennessee that has a full kitchen and I'm making tuna casserole. Nothing very special tonight after a long day of traveling.

TJs orange chicken supplemented with some stirred veggies over cooked rice.

That's my favorite sub.

 

[msmofet]

Pan-fried NY strip steak (perfect medium rare 125 °F internal temperature), and salad with homemade green goddess dressing (I used Trader Joe's green goddess seasoning).
Homemade Mocha brownies (with chopped pecans in the brownie, and the frosting) for dessert.

National pot pie day? Okay, I will smoke pot, and when I get the munchies I will eat a slice of apple pie. Or mayvbe the whole damn thing.

No pot pies for me, not a big fan. We had an Indonesian vegetable dish called Gado Gado.
