With growing boys comes never ending appetites. Sometimes it can be a challenge finding a variety of items they enjoy that are filling and quick to put together when they feel the sudden hunger pains. I was happy to discover Mortimer’s Pies-On-The-Go. We’ve been having them for the past week and they have really been a life saver. They were a quick lunch after a soccer class, an after school snack and lunch when I was just too tired to put something together. The pies can be ready in one minute from a deep freeze. They come in a microwavable box making things even more easy! I recommend planning a bit ahead and baking them in the oven. It takes about 30 minutes but it is well worth the wait. The pastry gets nice and flaky and there is much more even heating. Although there have been times where the day was so busy that I opted to microwave them to fill hungry tummies ASAP and they were gobbled up in no time!
Mortimer’s Pies-On-The-Go are fully certified and monitored by HMA, made from white chicken breast meat, have no artificial colours or flavours and no MSG. I found these pies to be high in fat (22 grams per pie) so for me they are a once in awhile treat. The pies come in two flavours: Chicken Pot Pie and Butter Chicken. Both flavours were popular in our home.
You can find Moritmer’s Pies-On-The-Go at your local Sobeys, FreshCo, Chalo FreshCo, Longos and Grocery Gateway. If you can’t find it, simply ask the Meat Manager to stock it.
