This gem of a recipe is in my pile of "go to" recipes. It is super simple to make and I generally ALWAYS have the ingredients on hand. It is delicious reheated as well so I love to take this to work for lunch the next day which is what I did this week.

I found the recipe in a Super Food Ideas magazine I think last year and it is one of my favourite pies. My top favourite pie is a thai curry chicken pie which I will share with you one day as well.

This week I started a new job as a Hairdressing Apprentice which is a huge career change for me but due to getting used to my new hours and work day changes I haven't been blogging much this week. I will be getting back to the regular blogging from now on so stay tuned. I will be having a new "What I Ate Wednesday's" post every week,  continuing on with my "Motivational Monday's" and the rest of the week will just be bits and pieces in between.

Okay now that's all been said here is the recipe for you guys!

Stay Happy and Healthy
