I have a hard time creating original, or even semi-original, recipes.\u00a0 My Evernote account is now up to 2,334 notes, almost all of them recipes and every day new and delicious sounding ideas fill my Google Reader.\u00a0 I love to cook, but I don\u2019t like to waste food, so I\u2019d rather make someone else\u2019s great idea than try to invent one of my own.\u00a0 Nevertheless, I really do want to increase the amount of original recipes on Relishments so I recently tried creating my own variation of chickpea pot pie.<\/p>\n

My variation was surprisingly successful for a first try.\u00a0 I was pleasantly surprised with myself and scheduled a future recreation of the pie and post sharing the recipe.\u00a0 And then I lost the recipe.<\/p>\n

I looked high and low\u2014in the binder I keep my blogging stuff in, in the pile of paper recipes I\u2019ve recently made but not gotten around to filing yet, in the papers on my desk.\u00a0 My chickpea pot pie recipe was nowhere to be found.\u00a0 I did the best I could to rewrite it, but decided to put if off until I was less annoyed with myself.<\/p>\n

And then I found it, being used as a bookmark in How to Cook Everything Vegetarian<\/em>.\u00a0 Why wasn\u2019t that the first place I looked?\u00a0 So I made it again last night with a few more minor tweaks, and now I share it with you.\u00a0 This meat-free pot pie is a mixture of vegetables, beans and sauce in a very flaky crust.\u00a0 Though it\u2019s a bit more involved than some of my recipes, chickpea pot pie is hearty, filling and perfect for this not-quite-warm-out-yet weather.<\/p>\n

From now on, all recipes in development are going into my blogging binder.\u00a0 Remind me of that next time I can\u2019t find one.<\/p>\n
