Vegetarians & Meat-Lovers: Split Table Recipes

Season 2, Episode 11: Hybrid Pasty Hotdish and Easy Recipe Veggie Pot Pie. Hello! My name is Julie Hoag. I'm an author, cookbook author, food blogger, family life blogger, and narrator. I have a hybrid split table family as far as diets go being that I'm a vegetarian, and main cook for the family, while my husband and three sons eat meat. So I cook in a unique way that I call hybrid where I'm making meals and recipes work for both diets. These two recipes are pie type recipes for dinner or supper, whichever term you use. The pasty hotdish recipe came from my grandma who was born in Finland and is a modified version of the traditional handheld pasties. And the other recipe is an easy pot pie recipe I made on the fly so I could enjoy a meatless pot pie while my family all had frozen already prepared pot pies for a meal. Necessity is the mother of invention, right?
Here are the recipes for your easy reference. One was taken from my cookbook, One Dish Two Diets, which is available on Amazon (scroll to the links below).
