Well today I bought another 10 lb bag of bird seed! I have Jode's bird feeder hanging on a limb out back and even tho we don't have snow..........the birds have spread the word that the restaurant at the Smalls is open! We have so many beautiful birds around here and they are all hungry!
My good friend, Rebecca, reminded me of Chicken Pot pie the other day...........so another good comfort food recipe. Not sure where this recipe came from but my favorite.
Start with about 2 cup of chicken broth (I make my own but if you buy it.........maybe a little more than a cup) Add: about 1 1/2 cup chopped carrots, about 1 1/2 cups chopped potatoes and boil about 10 min.........just til soft.
In a skillet.........saute sliced mushrooms, and about 1 cup of chopped onions and about 1 cup chopped celery just til softened. Stir in the broth, carrots and potatoes. In a cup whisk about 1/2 cup water with about 1/3 cup flour........to make a thickener.........Whisk all of this together and cook til it is nice and thick. Now stir in about 2 1/2 cups of cooked chicken......AND 1 cup frozen peas........let set.
Put you bottom crust (if you are using store bought pie dough........which is fine) in about a 2 qt. baking dish........NOW.........sometimes the bottom crust can get soggy........if you lightly brush it with egg white.......that will help.
Dump all of the chicken mixture into the pie shell........cover with other crust that you have cut some holes in...........seal........brush with a little egg white mixed with a little water to give a nice golden crust............Bake at 425 degrees about 20 min. So easy when you can buy the chickens already cooked at all the grocery stores now........a nice convenience we didn't used to have.
