Chicken Pot Pie -Revamped

I'm publishing this now, because I need access to this recipe on the fly! I make this all the time!

Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup flour
1/3 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1- 14 oz can chicken broth
1/2 cup milk

2 recipes basic pie dough
1 pkg. California blend frozen vegetables, thawed--any other veggies just sitting around
2 breasts chicken, cooked and shredded or cubed.


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out one pie crust and line in 9 inch pie pan. In 2 quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook about 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until well blended. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in broth and milk, cooking and stirring until bubbly and thickened. Stir in the chicken and thawed mixed vegetables. Remove from heat. Spoon chicken mixture into crust-lined pie plate. Roll out second pie crust (or cut into strips for a lattice top) and place the second crust on top. Seal edge and flute. Cover crust edge with foil to prevent excessive browning. Remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 45-60 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Let stand 15-20 minutes before serving.

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies {Foodie Friday}




WE finally made it to dessert!  If you are already working on a Thanksgiving menu--or even if you're not, give these a shot. I made them bite size and so they were utterly irresistible. You will have to hide them from yourself. Promise.

Roasted Pumpkin seeds {Foodie Friday}

Here's a quick and easy snack that will keep you noming all month long. I had my first experience with cooking a pumpkin in my oven. I froze the insides and cooked the seeds. Truth be told, I had never had pumpkin seeds before the time I made these. Clearly I was missing out, because they tasted so good. Caroline had a taste too. She liked them, but we all had a hard time sharing. ;)

Pumpkin Butter {Foodie Friday}

I love the cool crisp mornings that we have been having. It's nice to sit around on a Saturday morning and enjoy it. Toast with pumpkin butter really just puts the icing on the cake. It's not just good on toast though (that's just my favorite way). You can stir it into oatmeal, eat it on crackers or yogurt! It will also make your house smell like fall so enjoy it!

Ultimate Grilled Cheese {Foodie Friday}



I'm seriously on an easy streak these days. With my busy schedule, I'm having a hard time with making any effort on dinner. And a lot of nights it's a straight up grilled cheese.

Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie {Foodie Friday}




So... my lack of motivation...its been pretty conducive to smaller desserts. Faster, less clean up and immediately satisfying.

Peach Pie {Foodie Friday}




Here's the problem. My motivation- it's gone. It wasn't until my recent promotion that I realized how people could work all the time and literally not care about anything.
