Corned beef hash, British style. Also known as corned willy, I believe. Made with the finest (lol) canned corned beef, which comes with it's own little key:

It was quite tasty, but the corned beef is so salty that next time I wouldn't even salt the potatoes during parboiling. New Yorkers will probably be disgusted and insulted by this version of corned beef hash, so that's another plus for it.

Very simple chicken thighs. Bone in, skin on. The method is taken from Ina Garten. Pan fry on a med-high heat for 15 minutes on the skin side to get it nice and crispy, turn it and turn the heat down a smidge and go for another 15 minutes. I would normally marinate, but I didn't have a chance so I just went for it. I cut a few slashes into each on the skin side. Made a rub of salt, pepper, adobo, cayenne, and garlic powder. It turned out fantastic. Crispy skin, flavored throughout. Very simple, but very good. I served with some broccoli with a bit of lemon juice, butter, salt and pepper and roasted potatoes.
 
I recently bought Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning after one of my neighbors had a seafood boil and really enjoyed it. I made Cajun shrimp pasta with a bit of Andouille sausage and a creamy base. I tried using my cast iron instead of grilling the shrimp and it turned out wonderful.
 
Update to the pie: tastes wonderful, somehow the inside was soup even though the crust was perfect. Might try using one can of peaches next time instead of 2

There are some tricks to preventing a soupy pie. Adding some corn starch or gelatin are such methods. You also want to make sure you got some holes in the crust so steam can escape.
