Thoughtful Baking

I've tried so many things here since finding them on IG. I believe I read that the owner is the former executive chef of Amelie's. They're located at several of the farmers markets around the city at different times of the year, check the IG page. They have an assortment of sweets, quiche, and take and bake pot pies(chicken or veggie). The potato and cheese hand pies were my favorite but I don't think they have them anymore. I love the veggie pot pie which comes frozen in the individual or family size, but it has the most flaky vegan crust stuffed with sweet potato, shiitake mushrooms, potato, onion, carrots, celery and it is the best pot pie I've ever had but the crust is the star. If you haven't come across any of the amazing treats here, you're missing out.

Stop what you're doing, find a farmers market that they're at, and try this spot. We got:- Strawberry Pie- Strawberry Blondie- Raspberry Glazed Strawberry Pound Cake- Chicken Pot PieAll of the desserts were amazing. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be the Strawberry Pie, but I want them all again right now. You can taste how fresh the fruit is. We haven't had a chance to eat the pot pie yet, but I can't wait to try it. They're currently at the regional, South End, and Davidson farmers markets. Soon they'll be at the one in Matthews too. Check their Instagram for their menu each week. We should have listened to our friends that said to try them sooner.

I visit this vendor at the Uptown Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings. She offers a variety of cookies, quiches and pot pie options, both single serving and family sizes. This week I purchased the chocolate chip cookies (she offers gluten free and regular - both AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS) and a single chicken pot pie. What I like is that all the food made is all natural and locally sourced, most from the other vendors at the market. The presentation and flavor are outstanding. The pricing is reasonable and the owner is so sweet, you can tell she cooks from her heart. The chicken pot pie is very well done. All the directions are included and once done tasted as if I were being served at a restaurant. The crust is flaky and the chicken mixture was seasoned just right! It's going to be very hard not to come home with a chicken pot pie every time! This vendor is a local favorite and sells out quickly although she starts with quite a bit of product. Just like the name, this vendor is thoughtful and you know your food was made with care. I highly recommend!

Used to always buy the quiches but a couple of months ago started tasting really bland. I switched to Shepherds pie which was wonderful until about a week ago, where they are now greasy. Consistency has gone downhill and even their service at the farmers markets this past week has been horrible, not helpful or friendly. Not sure what has changed, but you charge too much for me to wait for it to change again for the better.

You need to head over to one of the farmer's markets they are scheduled to be in and grab some delicious pies and quiches! Honestly their food is delicious!!! So far we have had their chicken pot pie, bacon and mozzarella quiche, strawberry raspberry pie, blueberry peach crisp and it has all tasted amazing! Fresh from the oven, made from scratch, locally sourced goodness I mean it's a win win for all! If you haven't tasted their food, don't wait any longer! They've got a full menu of goodies and you can order online and pick it up at one of the markets. Check them out on IG for their weekly menu and locations.
