    Pie is TOO FABULOUS to only be eaten for dessert. Especially in fall and winter (when cozy food reigns supreme) savory pies, tarts, and galettes are an awesome way to turn seasonal produce into a pretty and delicious meal.

    The recipes in this post are a great place to start, but also remember that you're totally free to freestyle and make up your own savory pastry creation.
