Now that the presents have been opened and the ball has dropped, there’s only one thing left: polishing off those remaining leftovers.

Put it all to use with the epitome of comfort food, a pot pie steaming hot from the oven.
Ina Garten fixes the quintessential Chicken Pot Pie, complete with a homemade pastry recipe. For those with little time to spare, Sunny Anderson’s Easy Chicken Pot Pie (pictured at top) reaches the table in just about 40 minutes.
