My husband loves pot pies. Any time I had to go out of town and he was left in the kitchen to fend for himself. Marie Callendar’s pot pie was always on his menu of defrost, heat and eat.
Thankfully, we have come a long way and I created this one-dish sensation that is completely satisfying without the chicken or preservatives.
You can substitute any vegetables in place of the squash, green beans and broccoli. It just so happened that these were the ones I had in the refrigerator.
ENJOY!

Most people I know have a love/hate relationship with asparagus. I am on the love side of the fence and am amazed with its nutritional benefits.
Touted as one of the world’s healthiest foods, asparagus is a great source of:
- Vitamin K – helps prevent heart disease and improves blood clotting)
- Copper – increases the body’s absorption of Iron
- Folate/Vitamin B9 – encourages cell and tissue growth
- Selenium – good for heart health, blood flow and reduces free radical oxidative stress
- Vitamin B2 – aids body in producing red blood cells and converting food into energy
- Vitamin C – an antioxidant that also helps the body form and maintain healthy skin and bones
- Vitamin E – helps reduce damage from free radicals
Asparagus also is contains Fiber, Manganese, Phosphorus, Niacin, Potassium, Choline, Zinc, Iron, Protein, Vitamin A & B6, and Pantothenic Acid, which helps the body convert food into energy.

I love kale but I also know a lot of people that are not huge fans of this super-good-for-you food. When I created this salad, that is filling enough for an entire meal, it helped turn kale-no-bees into yes please!
I use quinoa and Trader Joe’s Rice Medley which makes it hardy and nutritious but you can substitute any other grain of choice including Israeli couscous.
ENJOY!
