On this snowy Tuesday, all I want is something warm and comforting in my tummy. So, I decided to make a pot pie. I wanted Bri to be able to eat it and so it became a veggie pot pie with tofu instead of chicken. It was super yummy and crazy simple. Here is what I did:
I mixed a bunch of delish veggies in a pot. Then, I poured said delish veggies into a 9 by 13 inch pan. Then, I put unrolled crescent rolls on top and baked it in the oven for 15 minutes. The result: A Vegetarian Pot Pie Casserole. Yes, I am serious.
This was super easy and now I have some awesome comfort food that incorporates a bunch of vegetables and some solid protein.
Today, I keep looking out the window while at school and I am not looking forward to my drive home in all this snow. At least I have a yummy dinner ahead of me!

2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 onion, chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp oregano

2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

6-8 small red potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 cup frozen peas
4 cups vegetable stock

1. Melt the butter over medium-low heat and add in the celery, carrots, and onion. Let cook for 5 minutes.
