My Memaw's Pot Pie Recipe Cooked Plant-Based 

Thanks for sharing your memaw with us. I going to try this recipe this weekend.

You make me smile 😊 it’s amazing to see someone so happy 😁 and positive 👍🏻Love learning and watching you.

I love that you shared Memaw's recipe. Years ago I copied my mother's hand-written recipes, many of which were generations old, and bound them for each family within the extended family. They were so grateful! I have a hint that you probably already know but didn't remember. When you're adding liquids to a gravy or white sauce heat the liquid first and it will blend right in with the base. You'll never get lumps. Thank you for all your work. I love you back!

Well, Ok, I'm crying now. Very sweet.

That was so sweet to see your Grandma"s original recipe. I got a little teary as well thinking of my Grandma and all the wonderful things she did for us. I'm sure she's looking down on you and is SO very proud of You!

Watching this made me cry but happy tears because you have beautiful memories of your Memaw and some of her delicious recipes to pass on to your beautiful family (and your fans). It reminded my of my Grannie who died a few years ago. She is the reason that I'm the woman that I'm today. She was such an awesome woman of God that loved to cook and serve others. I hope that I can be the kind of woman that she was. XOXO

Awwwwww. Thank you for sharing the story of your Memaw's recipe and your Aunt's thoughtful gift. Hugs. ❤️

Aw Jill, that was very touching. I know Memaws just smiling down on you feeling very proud of who you have become.... (hugs and kisses sent your way)

Jill, you are such a dear, sweet, funny inspirational woman, your Memaw would be so PROUD!! Thank you for sharing this video with us!!!❤

Finally made this the other week, it was so very delicious! I was hesitant because I never make pastry. Well honestly it was so easy and fast. I will make this again and again. Your picture of your mema's recipe framed was very touching, thank you for sharing that. I now am writing down my recipes for my girls.

You're a breath of fresh air, Jill. I'm weeping too, so touched am I! :) Memaw would be soooooo proud of you. CANNOT WAIT to make this!! Hubby's thrilled! He loves my veg cooking, and is a pie fiend! I am from New Zealand but have been in Texas since I was two. My Nana had an amazing ANZAC biscuit (cookie) recipe that I had to deglutenise (is that even a word?) because I have celiac. Nana passed August 2004, but she lives on -- across the ocean -- every time I bake her incredible bikkies. Took a double batch to a tea social. Came back empty handed! They were THE big hit. Everyone wanted the recipe. So I shared it. That's what Nana would've done. ♡♡♡

Awwww, Jill, this was so touching. I am teary eyed but so appreciative of the advice. Paz.

Hey Jill, I wanted you to know that my wife made the pot pie recipe today and it's the first time that we ever tried soy curls. Man was that good! Those soy curls had a wonderful texture that I sincerely appreciated. Thank you so much for the recipe!

thank you for sharing not only your recipes and your explosive, funny character with us, but also your memory of Memaws'. it was a truly touching moment there at the end, i teared up with you ♥

Jill, you are a hoot! I found your videos while trying to decide if I should get an instant pot. You convinced me! Your "chicken" pot pie may be the first thing I make. Thanks for sharing your recipes, your humor, and your meemaw with us.

oh my word...I was a blubbering mess at the end. :( now I need to make this. that was such a nice thing for your aunt to do.

what a beautiful present! I wish i had my grandma's recipes written down. I miss her everyday. thank you for sharing your delicious recipes!

This is the first time I've watch this video. Because of this, I now have my Christmas presents done I've gone to Walmart and got frames and copied grandma's recipe that my family loved. she's been gone since 1982. A lot of the people were asking it Thanksgiving about this particular recipe, no one knows that I have the recipe in grandma's writing this is gonna be wonderful! Thank you so much Jill! We have never met, I love you and your family just like your my own! Merry Christmas and happy New Year's my dear!

Jill, I had remembered coming across this recipe. I became plant based/vegan at the time you posted this. It's delicious. What a precious tribute to your memaw. She would be proud. I plan to make this again tomorrow, to celebrate my 2 year veganniversary! Much love to you and your family in the coming year! Keep doing what you do!

Hey Jill! I am not sure how I missed watching this video... But it was so sweet! I am Wiping the tears off my face after hearing you talk about your Memaw!! My mother died from breast cancer about 10 years ago. I have a few of her handwritten recipes. I am now inspired to frame them. Your Memaw would be soo proud of you! ((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))) xoxoxxo

I just made a family cookbook for my daughter. I photocopied hand written recipes in my moms and grandmas handwriting. It's like having them still here, while cooking. ❤️

Great video and recipe!! And - how wonderful to have a framed written recipe as a reminder of good and loving memories!! Thank-you for sharing your recipe ideas with all of us and for all you do!!!

This is one of the sweetest gestures a family member could possibly have done!

Love your honesty Jill. Having turned 60, it just seems the metabolism has slowed down. Never really was overweight until my mid 50s . I have been walking 3 miles 5 days a week since my oldest started school but since we moved to South Dakota with actual winters, my walking has taken a real hit! Hate walking in snow and ice and below zero temps, so instead I hibernate inside. It's starting to warm up here now, and in fact just got back from a 3 mile walk around our local lake with the pugs. Feeling so virtuous, lol. It's a daily struggle to get out there, I'm telling you!

What a beautiful tribute, and thank you ahead of time because I can’t wait to try this recipe!

Your Memaw's handwriting reminds me of a couple of my Aunt Jean's recipes. She was a fabulous cook, precious lady in Williamsburg PA. Can't wait to try this!

Bless your heart! The recipe looks great and I look forward to trying it and thank you for sharing your memories of your Memaw with us! Just found your channel a couple of days ago and have been watching your vids and they are fantastic! You're hilarious and you have a great family. Keep spreading the word and sharing all these wonderful recipes so that we can all make the decision to live a long and healthful life!

Sweet! Recipes in family's own handwriting...soooo special. Tks for sharing😎

What a beautiful heart you have. Made me cry. Thank you for being so amazing and inspiring ☺️👍❤️😊

Jill, I've been following your videos for sometime now. I love them. Tonight, I love that you showed a side of yourself that brought us all closer into you and your love of sharing. Thank you. Thanks for introducing me to soy curls! Oh my gosh my hubby and I have gotten so creative with them. I must share one day. God Bless! Patti

oh my gosh! That's such a wonderful thing to have! My mother has some of her mom's recipes framed too. Family treasures, for sure! very sweet. and i'm sure she'd be so proud of your vegan recipes too. afterall, she was the inspiration!!!

Awe Jill I love the recipe at the end!! framing it like that is the BEST idea! we have so many special recipes in my family that we can do that with and girl you sure did make me cry! xoxo

At the end where you have your grandmother's recipe, I was crying right along with you. I lost my mother's old beat up cookbook chalked full of her notes and personal recipes when my husband and I had a house fire a while back. We lost almost everything that was on the first floor of our house and that cookbook is the only thing I still mourn from time to time. I wish I had gone ahead and framed some of her recipes when I had the chance and had them in my office. What a great idea!

Oh, Jill, your story about your MeeMaw made me cry too! You are awesome and I am sure she was too.

Jill, you made me think of my Grammy who has been gone for awhile. I miss her so much, just like Meemaw. I think I need to make this recipe in honor of both of them. Your Meemaw's handwriting looks just like Grammy's handwriting, too! Wow! What a day!

Hugs to you! Thanks so much for sharing such a special memory and recipe. I love all of your recipes!

OMG Jill you are so crazy you make me laugh out loud. Awesome! And...you made me cry....

You have such a sweet and tender heart.

This was such a sweet video. I just stumbled across your channel today and am loving it! I lost my Memaw 2 years ago and miss her every single day. I cherish the few things I have of hers. I would love to have one of her hand written recipes to frame. What a treasure!

Made your Memaw's pot pie again last night! Taking the yummy leftovers to Lent service soup supper tonight. While everyone else is eating SAD, DH and I will be happily and healthily munching on deliciousness! Your Memaw's recipe is nearly a photo copy of my mom's recipe - gotta love those trusted family recipes esp. Vegan-ized! Thanks Jill.

Why do you have to make me cry at work Jill?! Lol. Thanks for sharing. That made me think of my grandmothers who both have passed on to Heaven. So nice for you to have that memento. I need to try that pot pie! I wish I had an Ipot to make it easier. :o

The end! ❤️❤️❤️ I love how real you are!

Ok you have me crying and remembering my Memaw, AKA Nonni. I have a special recipe of hers and I think I will get it put in a frame like yours. The pot pie recipe with the soy curls looks like it will fit the bill for next Sunday's special Easter Supper. I will check back next week at the same time to let you know how it came out.

I got your book in and first thing I did was to check if that recipe is in it. And it is!! I made it yesterday. Wow! Thank you so much!

Wonderful video. I can't wait to try this recipe. Loved the story behind it.

I love how you love your Memaw. Bless your sweet heart. She is looking down on you from Heaven and smiling at what a wonderful lady you are! (Oh and the pot pie is off the chain! I cannot keep it out of my 20 yr old's mouth. He wants ALL the pot pie. Thanks for making me a hero-mom!)

You made me tear up girlfriend. Loved your story about your Memaw and the recipe. It is essential to keep old recipes like that. Even if you are vegan old recipes can easily be made Vegan...hell there is even a way to make Vegan Meringue! That recipe is so special and I'm so very happy you shared it with us. Love your enthusiasm for life, keep sharing it with us!

What a beautiful story and a yummy recipe. I love soy curls, going to give this one a try tomorrow.

Thank you for sharing the picture of your Me'Maw's recipe. I teared up with you. I am excited to try this pot pie. I'm going to finally try soy curls. :)

Hi Jill, I have never sent a comment before, but I watched one of your videos a few days ago and now I am hooked! You are a very special, fun loving soul. I will definitely be purchasing an Ipot, or 2 or 3. ( They should be paying you, as you are a wonderful ambassador for the company. ) P.S. I have a small hand written collection of my Mom's recipes, she passed over 20 years ago, I miss her everyday! So I loved your sharing of your Memaw's recipe.😊 I am glad I saw your videos. Thank you for doing all the work for us.

Wow, thanks for sharing your Memaw's veganized pot pie recipe with us! You had me tearing up at the end. Just last month my mom gave me my grandmas old recipe box with all her hand written and magazine clipping recipes. I know how you must feel having her original recipe in your possession. I wonder if our grandparents would've tried our soy curls.

Well if your sweet tears don't get that truck driver to drive away then nothing will. I must say I was very touched by this video and I'm a little teary eyed myself. This will be my first soy curl recipe I try. Thank You for all the great recipes and inspiration!

So sweet-recipe in a glass frame! I’m tearing up too! Cause your meemaw’s handwriting looks a lot like my grandma’s handwriting💞

I sure miss a great chicken pot pie. Now I have a good recipe to try. That's as soon as I wipe my tears away. I have recipes from my Grandma in her writing and treasure them.

I love the framed recipe idea SO MUCH! My Mom is gone and I've been thinking about ways to share her recipes with the family. 💕

Hugs, Jill. Love you keepin' it real.

Bless your heart Jill, I love this recipe. {{Hugs}}

The end was the best part. Thanks for sharing... well worth the wait!!!!!!

I think you are awesome! I love the framed recipe!

I just made this today and it smells so good! I am still a little bit scared of the instaPot, mine is a brand from QVC so it was a big deal to use it but it worked in less than five minutes the veggies were all done. Thank you for encouraging us to Go for it! And you are so darn sweet about your Memaws recipe picture.

I really have to try this recipe - I love chicken pot pie (vegetarian), but I never made it before and this looks really yummy Hopefully, I can make it for my niece and nephew when they come to visit me. I also loved your Memaw's recipe in the frame! That's a great idea and precious momento. I am happy that you are able to have something that was apart of her, for you and your family, to remember her by! Thanks for sharing!

I discovered your channel tonight and just love it and how you bring who you are to what you're doing here. Thank you! I became a whole foods, plant-based vegan in May and am absolutely loving it! Thank you for sharing yourself and your family with all of us. You touched me. Btw, it got me thinking about my own family. I called my great-grandma (my grandmother's mother), mamaw, but had never head anyone else use anything that sounded remotely like that to refer to their grandparent. That side of the family is from Texas so I'm thinking it might be a Texas thing? I Googled it and it looks like it may be used in other parts of the south as well. Also: got my Instant Pot a few days ago and can't wait to try it out! That's how I came to find your channel... by looking for instant pot "how to" recipes. :). Take good care!

I'm not sure if the baking pot pie (yummy, by the way) or the dancing was my favorite part! LOL You are soooo kookie. I love it.

This was so sweet, thanks for sharing. You are the Best!

yum yum yum this looks so amazing! your little leaves are too cute! I will try this someday that is fo sho! xoxo Michele

This is my secound time making it. I use chik peas instead of soy curls, I also cheat and use a store bought crust. Thanks for another great recipe :)

Dear Jill, I haven't made this yet but I soon will, It looks amazing ! But what I really love about this video is your love for your Memaw. Thank you for sharing your heart and this precious recipe, I will definitly be writing down my recipes to hand down to my daughter. Your internet friend.... Mary Rose Hare, aka... nightowl49 :-D

This was so yummy !! I did not bake it in the crust. I just ate it over two open biscuits. It was so good and even better this morning as my breakfast.

I envy your husbands love of running! I have done couch to 5k three times in the past year, and never made it past running 2 miles in 30 mins. I always felt great afterwards, having accomplished it, but I just HATE running! Naps, lol, what a concept! As always you crack me up Jill! Have a wonderful day! I'm off to take the pugs to the lake again. ( only one is ours, the other belongs to a gal at church who's having knee surgery).

one other thing about recipes, my mom's riceballs are famous in my family, EVERYONE loves them! I am going to have to get her to write down the recipe and I still have to try and veganize them. On New Years Eve my cousin recorded her saying how she makes them on her I-phone. too funny. I wish I had my nonna's recipes, she was a cute little lady off the boat from Italy and was an amazing cook of course

I just found your channel and I all ready love it!:)

Made me tear up at the end! I still have my grandma's pumpkin pie recipe. I take it out every Thanksgiving and make her pumpkin pie. This year I have gone plant based (only one month in) and won't be able to use her recipe. I'll have to find me one of those frames for sure so I can see it always! Thanks for sharing! 💕

Ahhh stop now. Have to make it!! Love to you and sorry she’s gone !! I’ll honor her and make it . I love pot pie just as much I love Mac n cheese so thank u for sharing

Great video! Some of my best recipes come from my grandma (I have to make them vegan). G-Mas definitely add an element of love to what they cook. To me, my grandmas recipes were more memorable than what my mom made growing up. Not saying that my mom was a bad cook, but my grandma's meals were special.

Why o why am I just now making this?? I was hungry for comfort food... been eating a lot of veggie sandwiches lately and it was getting old...lol! Made this tonight! O boy! Now I understand why your family gets so excited when you make it!! It was yummy!!! This one is going in my permanent recipe file!! Perfect Fall food!!! Thanks Jill!!!!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Awesome, made me cry, love the recipe, got to try it.

Hello Jill, I am so glad I found your channel. I am starting my vegan journey and looking forward to making a lot of your recipes. Thank you.

Just found you a few days ago! Now I’m crying too!! 💜☺️

Thank you for sharing this very special recipe. Treasured family recipes are the best, especially when you veganise them. :) /hugs

You sweet sensitive soul. YOU have that beautiful framed recipe. YOUR kids and THEIR kids are going to have your wonderful videos. XOXOXOXOXO and that trucker has some stories to tell now too. OXOXO

Ok crying while typing is not easy ! Have wonderful recipes from my grandma to! love the pot pie!! and the leaves!!!!!

I bought an ipot yesterday!!! It was on saw on Amazon for only $70. I don't know what to cook first! This is the first recipe I'm considering. I'll watch your other recipes and decide what to make. I haven't even read the manual yet, I'll just go by what you say! Thanks for sharing

I bought my iPot on Amazon Prime day and I'm excited to try this and many others from your cookbook! Your personality is so contagious! :-)

Thanks for sharing!

Love this video! What a sweet gift of the recipe from you r Memaw! I have some from my sweet mother-in-law that I treasure. I'll make this soon. Jill, I have a question. I, in pre-vegan days, made a sloppy joe sandwich with crumbled hamburger. Could I use the soy curls for this? Do I grind up the soy curls before re-hydrating them?

Oh, sweetheart, what a lovely tribute to your Memaw...:) So, I am laughing at the Instapot being called your I-pot....I'm going to call mine, my "i-pot" from now on ,lol. Funny you should post this tonight, cuz I made "kung-po" soy curls tonight, soy curls "fried" in a sweet and sour sauce, added a bag of frozen Oriental veggies. I served it on baked potatoes, cuz I started the baked potatoes before I knew I was going to make the soy curls, lol. I would post the kung po sauce recipe, but I am ashamed I make something with 4 T. sugar

I enjoy your videos so much! Thanks for some great vegan cooking. I think I'm gonna have to get that iPot thing now... ;-)

Don't have words to describe how much I LOVE this video!!! I love it so much, I LURV IT!!! :) Anyhoo.... if you didn't brush the top of the crust with water before placing the leaves on top, that may be why they just baked on top instead of becoming one with the top... I see it all the time on TV when they're putting embellishments on crusts, they talk about 'the glue' that holds them together...

I love all of your recipes - where do you fined the dry soy curls? I have never heard of them before, thank you.

Love your videos!

Hello and thank you for your fun energy! I am assuming that soy curls = TVP, just in a different shape. Or is there a flavor and texture difference? Where do you get your bulk curls/TVP and what price can I expect to pay?

your leaves were beyond cute :)

We just got our first bag of Soy Curls EVER today! Yeah, I ordered the 12 lb box, cos that is the BEST bargain! OMGGGG THEY ARE SOOOOOOO DELICIOUS!! Nom nom nom nom nom nom! 😋 Hubby couldn’t BELIEVE it wasn’t chicken, goodness me! I’m allergic to chicken, so he has really missed all those amazing chicken dishes I used to make back in the day. Now all those beloved treasures are making a comeback. He’s already planning food revamped with Soy Curls for our next annual Super Bowl party 2020! 🤣🥰 It’s only baseball season yet! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I get it, why people freaking out over this product. Such satisfying, filling, comforting, beautiful food. I was close to my Granny too; she was a wonderful cook. I loved learning to cook alongside her, standing on a chair at her counter. Sometimes I miss her lovely, comforting chicken, tomato and squash stew. Now I can recreate it! Maybe your Memaw and my Granny are in Heaven exchanging recipes, and giggling that food technology has really changed radically since their day. My Granny has been gone for 30 years this coming October, so hard to believe. Your Memaw treasure is just priceless. I’m so glad you have a piece of personal memorabilia from her. Priceless.

I’m not sure if you even caught that pun there - leaf this out - crack me up! I love the recipe,Jill. I am disappointed to see a regular pie crust - I was so sure you had come up with an alternative something! I have seen some versions that use almond flour, and now I’m wondering if there was a way to use tofu or yogurt…? Love your joy, as always :) Ok, I just now realized this was from 2015 - I’m sure you’ve come up with something, so now I’m going to go look for it - pie season is coming! :)

What if I do not have a smart oven? Can I still bake this for 30 minutes in a standard oven? Looks so delicious! Thanks for all your recipes!

I just made this for dinner! Delicious! The only issue I had was my soy curls were really mushy. Should I have squeezed them out first besides draining?

I made this over the weekend. My first time using soy curls but I didn't enjoy the texture. I cooked them along with my veggies in the ipot. Maybe I should leave them out of that process and they'll have a firmer, more "chicken" like texture?

Hey Jill, I was just scouring the web for soy curl recipes and noticed that you are the main maker of them. Just a marketing idea...You should contact them and let them know that! Maybe you could partner with them in a recipe series to help get the word out about soy curls. Could be mutually beneficial. I'm not a savvy business guy, but when I noticed that Butler food really doesn't seem to market them as well as they could, and found very few recipes other than yours, the idea popped into my head. Just an idea....Now, I guess I'd better get busy adapting my favorite chicken curry recipe to using soy curls ;-)

Your dancing is very Ellenesque lol :)

Memaws are special......
