Ok, you don’t really have to twist my arm. Because I loooooves me some pot pies. They are like the dinner equivalent to my love of Cadbury Creme eggs. So when the Motherhood and Marie Callender’s asked me to try and review a Marie Callender’s pot pie, I was like, “let me think about it….YES!” (Seriously, they had me at “free pot pie”.) There’s just something about crust, meat, veggies, sauce…all together…dinner that’s shaped like dessert…I love it!
The reason Marie Callender’s wanted me to try their pie is because recently their pot pies were featured in article called “8 Grocery Store Products that are Better than Homemade (really)“. And they wanted me to try one and see if I thought it was better than homemade.
So I tried it. And since I have previously devoured Marie Callender’s pot pies, I decided to try a flavor I’d never tried before, so I got a Creamy Parmesan Chicken pot pie.
It was scrumptious! I absolutely loved the flavor! And it was definitely better than anything I could have ever made. Maybe some of you crazy Martha Stewart types could try, but I don’t see how anyone could make a pot pie that was any better. It was perfection. Flaky crust, flavorful veggies, tender and well-seasoned meat – I could not have asked for anything more! And yes, I did eat the WHOLE thing. Just to make sure this review was thorough. *Ahem.*
So – that’s my verdict: are they better than homemade? YES! After all, the Marie Callender’s people make them from scratch – so why should I?? 🙂

I received a coupon for a free Marie Callender’s pot pie and a stipend from the Motherhood and Marie Callender’s for my review of this product. The opinions expressed are solely my own and not edited by the sponsor in any way.
I love good pot pie. The only thing from KFC that I ever crave is their pot pie (do they still make those? I quit buying them because I figure if they taste they good they probably are horrible for me). Pot pie is something I never make myself, despite being a pretty good cook. It just tastes better when someone else does it. I’ll have to try Marie’s this fall (it is not summer food).
