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.

I can’t even handle that crust and the thought of a pot pie filled with winter’s bounty works for me! Wonderful recipe, Alice!
This pot pie is absolute comfort food!! Perfect for winter!
Hearty winter comfort food is one of the true blessings in life. That golden crust looks insanely good and I’m sure it’s filled with lots of goodness. Wouldn’t mind endless days of snow (with this,) in my oven!
That looks bomb diggity. Sometimes because pot pies can be so heavy, it really is delicious to just have hearty vegetables to lighten it up. It still has that delicious comfort taste.
This pot pie looks and sounds amazing, Alice! I love all the seasonal veggies you packed in here especially all that kale. I can just imagine how wonderful and creamy this is with the mascarpone cheese too! So comforting and delicious!
Oh, yeah, I’ll eat anything topped with puff pastry—but this combo of veggies is especially enticing!!!
P.S. I’m ready for spring!
One pot and that’s all I need right now. It’s totally comfort food and everyone’s favorite.
Oh that crust! Beautiful! I just hopped over to Kitchenthusiast and checked out the recipe. The filling is so nice and thick. I need that right now in my oven. 🙂 It’s quite cold here in ND too, and comfort food loaded with winter veggies sounds just right.
That pot pie looks amazing. And that crust!! I just want to dig right into it! Total comfort food right there!
What a creative recipe, Alice! This is such a perfect dish for the winter. And that golden crust looks amazing, I can almost smell it from here!
I’ve been buying more produce in season too lately. It’s so much cheaper and at its peak in flavor. I don’t know why I never did before. Maybe I just didn’t know.
Heading over to the Kitchenthusiast to get the rest of this recipe!
Craving all of the hearty goodness of this vegetarian pot pie right now Alice. It’s raining here in Australia (despite being summer) so this recipe is just ideal!
Oh my, all of these veggies! This looks just awesome, Alice. Definitely need to make this ASAP!
It’s 40 degrees today and I wish I had some of that pot pie right now. It looks amazing!
Pure Comfort Food.
This looks so delicious! Who needs meat!! xx
Love that this delicious looking comfort food is vegetarian! I also used to just buy whatever I wanted, but now am loving eating seasonal foods…that way when it is summer again, the summery produce is new and exciting again!
I have been wanting to make pot pie for so long right now. This looks so good!!
Thank you so much!!! I hope you try this!!
Oh man, I want to dig into this pot pie like crazy right about now, Alice! It’s a cold Sunday afternoon here in upstate New York…and that’s pretty much perfect weather for pot pies. Send me some leftovers? 🙂
haha, I wish I could!!! no leftovers! 😛 it was so good!
I bet this is the perfect for a cold winter night. I, like Thalia, am having rainy summer weather, which makes the temp stay low, and this is so temting right now! Love it!
Thanks so much, Tori!!! yes, perfect for a cold winter night!
Seriously such a great idea Alice (I may be a bit biased 😉 ). I bet this tastes amazing, with all those delicious soft veggies and beautiful crust!
Thanks so much Jessica!! haha, hey, I’d take this over a chicken pot pie any day!!
Looks and sounds absolutely delish. I’m a huge fan of all the savory pies!
Thanks so much Maria!!! this one was seriously fabulous!
Bring ON the veggies and comfort food! Those two things seem to be all I’ve been craving lately, so this pot pie couldn’t have come at a better time. 🙂 Hello, weeknight dinner!
Thanks so much, Sarah!!! you will love this! I hope you try it!
anything with so many veggies in there has to be my favorite! Looks yum!
Growing up in Florida, I never thought about when stuff was in season either. And sometimes I still don’t think about it when it comes to some things. I’ll eat sweet potatoes and mushrooms year round but fruits like cherries, strawberries and blueberries truly are better (and much cheaper!) when in season!
Great comfort food recipe right here, Alice! I know the meat is not missed in this hearty dish. 🙂
I just love pies in any forms!With seasonal veg-the most! 🙂 Beautiful recipe!
