Thanksgiving Turkey Pot Pie
Remember last year’s Thanksgiving? That’s a bit of a trick question – 2020 was a pandemic blur. What I do remember about last year’s holiday was our smaller scale gathering, big gratitude, AND the Turkey Pot Pie.
Today’s Turkey Pot Pie recipe is a adaptation from last year’s most popular recipe from Joy the Baker Magazine. Y’all LOVED this pot pie because it’s essentially an entire Thanksgiving feast in a single pot pie.

Let It Be Sunday, 347!
Hello friends and welcome to another fine Sunday! Today we hear from our friend Toby Lowenfels. Settle in – it’s a good one! xo Joy
Hi, JTB friends! It’s Toby again with a bit of an SOS situation. Anybody have ideas for a good Thanksgiving side to serve for my dad who has Celiac? He’s been a lifelong potato-hater, so he’s always passed on our beloved sweet potato casserole. Now, he’s suddenly decided he doesn’t like rice, which I guess is something you can get away with when you’re 84 years old.

Let It Be Sunday, 346!
Friends, hello! We made it to Sunday!
A week ago today I was slow running my butt down the road and back in Houston. I finally ran that half marathon I’ve been working towards for months. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! For years I had settled on the story that running that far wasn’t for me. I feel really proud for proving myself wrong.
The night before the race (we’re talking like 7:30pm) I wanted to go for a run to shake out my nerves.
