Phat Beets! Pot Pie

Happy Spring! 

It's officially time to tiptoe through the tulips, and a light rain is falling.  Well, for most of us it's still pretty cold outside, and tip-toe-ing may cause a little chill.  

What's the remedy? Phat Beet Pot Pies, of course!  With a puff pastry and fresh veggies, and leftover organic roast chicken, making Chicken Pot Pie Nouveau is easy enough to make, for yourself or for a crowd.  My version is special because I've made this pie from the leftover veggies that came in my share this week from the Phat Beets! Box*.  

Even though early spring is the least diverse time of year for veggies, this is still quite a wonderful pot pie using local carrots, rosemary, onions, and a hint of ginger.  Phat Beets is bringing the food justice to the people! ...And good food to the pie blogger's kitchen.
