Amy’s Kitchen says: Amy’s original pot pie with a tender flaky butter crusts contains organic carrots, peas, potatoes and tofu simmered in a creamy, well seasoned sauce.

Jess says: I did not grow up in a pot pie house. My mother never presented our entrees covered by flaky bread. I don’t think this makes me especially deprived (for the record: my mom’s meatballs are no joke and her overstuffed veggie omelets make my stomach growl even while full). Yet this item did cause me to take pause before warming up to the idea of pie crust with savory contents. But I said (out loud to the freezer case at Safeway), “What the hell?” and grabbed a pot pie.

What a joy you were, pot pie! What a pleasant surprise! Full of vegetables and perfuming the air with your warm soothing smell of baked goods. The gelatanous gravy is somewhat off-putting (sorry Amy’s Kitchen, but I doubt there is cream in there), but don’t think too much on it. The meal is tasty and somehow filling despite its meager appearance. I would buy it again in heartbeat and eat happily in my pot-pie cubicle.

I plan on having this pot pie tonight. And although cream is not listen in the ingredients, but butter is, which is made from cream. There’s also flour and the usually fixings, but no yummy chicken fat. I plan on doing as the box recommends for the oven directions (you can only do it in the oven) which is ” if glaze desired, brush top crust with buter or milk and honey after first twenty minutes of baking”. I plan on brushing it with butter AND milk and honey for a hopefully sweet buttery glaze that will give the top crust a genuinly pie like taste.

Eh. It was fine. Not comparable to those over-sized Marie Callandar pies I enjoyed as a kid though.

I am currently eating this pot pie- that’s right- THIS IS LIVE REPORTING! And I gotta tell you, I LOVE IT! It is not big, greasy and from a woman names Marie- but it is DAMN FINE. The crust is savory, and remains flaky even on the bottom after cooking. The veggies are soft, but not mushy and large and flavorful. The gravy that gushed over the lip of the bowl while cooking did get “gelatanous” once it sat on the plate for the 2 minute rest period, but when i scooped it up with a chunk of crust it tasted GREAT. I really, really am suprised and pleased with this meal. There’s corn, carrots, broccoli, green beans, lentils, potatoes, red peppers and everything has a light, cheddar cheesy taste. I can’t say enough about it. I am a savory foods lover all the way and this is just made for my mouth. I feel fairly full working through it and hope it will last longer than most heat and eat meals. If it does that, then I would give it 5 stars. I’ll be buying this again most definitely.

[…] these tasty treats. I say that having never eaten an Amy’s Pie, though Jess seems to like the Vegetable Pot Pie and Kate enjoys the Tamale […]
