The meat pies are fun little parsley biscuit wrapped pockets of yum! They were a bit heavy on the dough for Brad and me, BUT the kids enjoyed them and it's always good to have a healthy little pocket meal that they can grab and cram in their face! I added a little more salt and seasoning to the filling than they did, and I used Gimme Lean instead of Boca burger, but I'm sure any meat-ish substitute you like would work, or even just extra veggies.
In a non-meat pie related note...one of our vendors at work is super sweet and knows I'm vegan, so instead of bringing greasy doughnuts, he brings us Saint Cupcake cupcakes. They always have a couple of vegan options, though they NEVER get creative with the vegan ones. (If you are Saint Cupcake and you are reading this, I'm getting a little pissed off about only having chocolate and vanilla to choose from.) My kids will eat anything with sugar in it (or just sugar...cut out the middle man), but NONE of them will eat the regular cupcakes from Saint Cupcake. They say the frosting makes their mouth feel gross. I have to agree, I never liked their frosting much when I was vegetarian. The vegan frosting however is friggin' awesome. I highly recommend trying the vegan version if you go! You'll only have a couple of flavors to choose from, but on the bright side, it makes deciding which one to get so much easier.
