Recipes:

Faux Chicken Pot Pie
**Note: I use Quorn meatless pieces for this, and my go-to pie crust recipe from The New England Cookbook

For the filling, I saute onions in oil or butter.  You can add diced potatoes to this as well.  Then I make a roux with flour.  I add in water and about a teaspoon of Better than Bouillon Vegetable Base (the No-chicken base would probably also work).  Once it thickens a bit, I add mixed vegetables.  I like the big bag of organic mixed vegetables from Costco, but any variety will do.  Sometimes, if I don't have the quick frozen ones, I'll chop up carrots and/or green beans or other various vegetables around the house.  Then I add in the quorn meatless pieces.  Once everything is mixed in, and mostly thawed and covered in the sauce, I pour the filling in, put the top crust on, and bake it at around 400 for around 30 minutes.
