Jannie Teitelbaum Great Lakes Pot Pies

I have been an entrepreneur for much of my life, having run a few businesses. When I moved to Michigan from northern Virginia, I decided I wanted to start a food business because I’ve always enjoyed making food. When trying to decide what food business I was going to start, I began asking friends what kind of food they’d want. It turned out that many people wanted better options for convenient meals since most are filled with processed chemicals. I saw an opportunity to offer all-natural, home-cooked food that people could store in the freezer and make when they need it.

As a child, I loved pot pie, so I set out to create a delicious recipe like the one I used to eat. After 6 months of trying different recipes, I made a Chicken Pot Pie for my family and my son, Steven, exclaimed when he ate it, “This is the best pot pie I have ever eaten!”, and I knew that I had the perfect recipe.
