who ate all the veggie pies?

i heart...


organic fruit & veg.

now, it's no secret that i heart... getting post, parcels & deliveries. well this week i received my first organic fruit & veg box delivery, which i got extremely excited about. the box was full to the brim with onions, celery, carrots, spinach, green beans, lettuce, courgette-type things, apples, oranges, pears & kiwi fruits.


in my excitement i decided to make a spot of vegetable filled lunch for me & christopher. i found a recipe for vegetable pie online & gave it a bash. i was a bit apprehensive as i don't think i'd even tasted veggie pie before, never mind make one! but against the odds it actually turned out really scrummy, even if i do say so myself.




i do realise it looks like someone has already eaten the pie & spewed it back up again, but it did taste delicious, honest.
