Chickless Pot Pie

Trisha's vegetarian take on chicken pot pie is just as decadent without the meat. Although the luscious vegetable filling with peas, carrots and potatoes could be a meal on its own, wrapping it in premade pie dough seals in flavor with a crispy crust.

Garlic Grits Casserole

For this simple, comforting casserole, Trisha layers a buttery, crunchy cornflake-crumb topping over smooth and cheesy grits. When preparing the grits, be sure to use an herb-and-garlic cheese — the earthiness of the herbs will add great aroma to the dish.

Banana Pudding Cake

This elegant yet understated cake is just the dessert to finish off a relaxed potluck dinner with friends and family. Once chilled, the homemade vanilla pudding makes a perfectly smooth filling for Trisha's tender banana cake layers. Simply dust the top with a little confectioners' sugar for a special touch.
