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!

One of the most delicious things about this nutloaf is that each ingredient presents an individual flavor. The outcome is an entree with a variety of starring sensations that also harmoniously meld together.
I have included, in the directions section, 2 different topping options for making the dish regular or gluten free.
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:

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.
