A classic comfort food made without dairy and meat
I have a weakness for Hallmark Channel movies. The love stories get me every time. Most recently, Chance at Romance, had me glued to the TV.
This particular movie featured an aspiring chef who was particularly known for her pot pies. She starts her own “Pot Pie of the Month Club.”
At the end of the movie, I started craving pot pies. I was a little worried about making my own – that they wouldn’t be up to standards, but these truly were delicious. I made my favorite vegan pie crust and crafted up a yummy filling.

Now that is a beautiful pot pie. I would love to have that for lunch today! or dinner or even breakfast!
Thank you, Jocelyn! It really is delicious 🙂
Beautiful – that crust looks so flaky and delicious! It’s been years since I had a pot pie. And now … I’m craving them! Can’t wait to try! 🙂
My grandma loves the Hallmark movies, too! I used to watch them all the time, but now the kids are always watching the Disney Channel! 🙂
Thank you, Gretchen! I plan on making these again this week 🙂 Do let me know if you get a chance to try them!
I get addicted to the hallmark channel too. I haven’t seen that movie yet though. I will have to check it out. The pot pie looks delicious and I love that its vegetarian. Makes it less heavy in my opinion.
It’s a cute movie, Laura. You don’t miss the meat at all in these pies. Thanks for visiting 🙂
Pot pies are my favorite and this veggie one looks delicious! Love how flaky the crust looks 🙂
Thanks Kelly! I plan on making another batch this weekend 🙂
Hi Megan, this looks wonderful! I wanted to clarify — does this make two or four pot pies? Thanks!
Hi Mashaal! Thanks so much for visiting. This makes a large batch of pot pie filling – enough to serve 10. It can be made as one large pot pie (in a 9×13 in pan – increase cooking time until golden brown and juices bubble) or it can make several mini pies (around 6-8 depending on the size of the pie dish.) If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Also, let me know if you do get a chance to try this pot pie 🙂
