So along with having 10 quilted stockings to make, 6 blog posts to write and about 15 batches of Christmas Goodies to bake before Christmas– I still have to be ‘present’ in my home.
The cooking can’t end, the kiddos still need diapers, and my husband is still hungry when he gets home from work!
Thankfully this past week we’ve had a nice stocked freezer with some more Marie Callender’s Goodness!! This time we’re talking Pot Pies. Uhh, Yum!
|
I love having a quick solution to dinner – one where especially I just say something along the lines of, ‘Honey! The Pot Pies are in the Freezer. Throw them in the microwave. Follow the directions!’ And a few minutes later we’ve got dinner…
- Best part? NO DISHES!!
- I’m pretty used to
- – but lately I haven’t had the time or energy to defrost the chicken in advance, then cook it and shred it and then make the pies… I mean, those can really be a labor of love. (Especially with two toddlers in the house!)
- Not that long ago I had purchased some strange brand $0.99 pot pies for quick lunch options – and they were over salted, and really not that good.
- So I was *REALLY* hoping that these would taste more like home-cooking.
- And they did! They were so yummy! The crust is flaky and the insides aren’t over salty or fake tasting. The chicken actually tasted like the chicken that I shred and not like a chewy piece of rubber.
- I liked that I could throw it into the microwave and have it come out as if I baked it in the oven!
| Marie Callender’s Pot Pie varieties include: Chicken Pot Pie Turkey Pot Pie Beef Pot Pie Creamy Mushroom Chicken Pot Pie Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pot Pie Honey Roasted Chicken Pot Pie Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie |
We tried both the Honey Roasted Chicken Pot Pie and the Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pot Pie. I preferred the Honey Roasted – but my husband preferred the Creamy Parmesan.

mmmm, I love pot pies and those look like they could fill even my husband! Thanks for the review!
My grandma loves to make those microwave pot-pies but I don’t think she’s tried this brand! I will definitely be suggesting them to her!
Those sound great! And you are right – what a great, quick, easy meal for holiday times with so many other things going on! The creamy mushroom and Parmesan chicken ones sound incredible!! I’ll have to look for these!
i just ate one of these yesterday! they are soo good!
Oh those sound so good, I didn’t know there were so many choices! Actually, I’ve never tried Mrs. Callender’s at all. I have to try the Creamy Parmesan Chicken, Honey Roasted Chicken,and the Cheesy Chicken – those sound really good!
I feel awful, it’s my son’s first Christmas and I never got around to making the Christmas stocking I wanted to make him 🙁 Great idea on the quick easy dinners! Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE these pot pies! We get them from time to time and my entire family loves them! Marie Calendars makes the BEST pot pies you can buy!
