Trust me, Beans...I wanted to! 😂 I have no clue how many calories were in this, but it had to have been pretty hefty on that front. So worth it, though! 

I had chicken pot pie too - the unhealthy processed kind but I'm sick and now is not a good time for me to try to diet. I would eat both the cauliflower and pot pie. Love both. Cauliflower is an awesome veggie. Tasty and versatile. Love peas and carrots too.  

I've been wondering about how you've been doing, Morticia. Hope you're recovering OK 🤗❤️ Yeah, when you're sick it's no time to worry about anything except getting food in your system. I feel like I'm fighting something today, and I've learned my body needs some fuel if I want to shake it. You just take care and get well. 🤗 

I make a delicious traditional chicken pot pie. Yes, high in calories but like you said, worth it occasionally. I haven't made one in awhile...maybe soon.Glad you were able to enjoy yours. 

Sounds like we're on the same wavelength, Sherry. I'm a firm believer in working in some fun foods here and there in the context of an overall healthy diet. That said, I think I may be slipping a bit more lately than I should. A lot of that, though, is at the office, and I only have 2 more months ahead of me on that front  

Looks so delicious and like you got the crust just right. Those can be hard to make from scratch. Great job with it! Nice meal. :) 

Thanks, losingtowin! I have a pie crust recipe a friend gave me that has never failed me. It definitely ain't health food, though 😂 

I have a box of 4 Marie Callendar's chicken Pot pies in the freezer. I thought about having one a few days ago until I saw one pie (not the large one!) was over 500 calories. Thought about just having half but knew I was too hungry! Don't remember what I ate instead  

A pot pie is definitely a caloric commitment, Fritzy. I'm not really tracking at the moment, but I did try to keep the portion reasonable  

Yeah!!! I love pot pie  

What's not to love, buenitabishop? 😃
