When I first started cooking, I never really paid attention to what produce was in season and when. I just bought stuff and didn’t think twice about it.
But if you think about it, purchasing and cooking with produce that’s in season makes complete sense. You get fruits and vegetables at their peak and the price is reasonable. It’s winter so I’m currently obsessed with sweet potatoes, kale, mushrooms and leeks.
Ah, the glorious sweet potato. My favorite thing now is simply roasted it with a little extra virgin olive oil and salt. So delicious and filling too!
To say that it’s cold here in Wisconsin is an understatement. We’re supposed to be having a mild winter but I still think 20/30 degree weather is cold so I have to take matters into my own hands.
And bake.
Enter this glorious vegetarian pot pie. . . filled with winter’s bounty and everything good. Guys, you have to try this recipe. You won’t miss the beef, you won’t miss the chicken. . I promise. This is delicious.
