We woke up to snow this morning here in Rhode Island, another reminder that January around these parts is all about function over fash-un (in other words, wear your warmest coat even though it’s not terribly flattering) and comfort food.

And by comfort eats, I mean made by hand, small batch lunch or dinner and dessert pies.

I LOVE pies, but making a crust is not high on my list of to-do’s this season.

Or ever, to be really honest.

If you’re on the same page, then you will want to add PVD Pies to favorites asap.

Homemade taste without the hassle !!!

Open since 2020 (again, hats off to anyone who started a biz in the last 2 years), this tiny bake shop tucked away in Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket has quietly been winning people over with their mini Chicken Pot, Sheperd’s and Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Pies.

Regulars also go gaga over their Kentucky Bourbon and Pumpkin ones.

And because they are perfectly sized for one person, you can enjoy on your own in front of the telie or whilst working on your laptop.

Or make everyone in your world happy by picking up a variety of different ones as a wintertime treat.

The owner, Gina, also offers Take And Bake Pies, so all you have to do pre-heat the oven and pop them in until they’re sufficiently warmed.

She even takes special orders.

With that in mind, I’m planning on motoring back over this week to see if she’ll cook up some meatless veggie minis pour moi.

PVD Pies has weekly specials and is open Tuesday thru Friday, from 12 to 6pm and Saturdays 9am to 1pm.

As always, if you take a Rhode trip over after reading this, please let them know you were inspired by Patty J and PattyJ.com.
