Grammy Lou's Chicken Pot Pie

2-3 chicken breasts
1 pkg frozen mixed vegetables
2 small potatoes, cubed
¼ cup chopped onion
4 Tb butter
4 Tb flour
½ lb Velveeta Cheese, cubed
Salt & Pepper to taste
Pie Crust


Preheat oven to 450 deg. Place bottom pie crust in pan and brown in oven for 12-15 minutes.

Boil chicken breasts. Remove chicken from pot; debone & shred. In stock, cook vegetables and cubed potatoes for 8 minutes. Strain out veggies, reserve liquid. In pot, melt butter and add flour and cook for a minute; add 3 cups chicken stock. Cook until bubbly. Add veggies, chicken and Velveeta cheese. When cheese is melted, pour into browned pie crust. Put top crust, cut slits to allow steam to escape and bake until crust is browned ~about 15 – 20 minutes~.

Tips:

I use my large baker from Pampered Chef. Otherwise this recipe makes enough for 2 pie plates. Some other must haves from Pampered Chef are the Mix ’N Chop and Whisk.

I also use prepared refrigerated pie crust and frozen chopped onions.

Fall PayDay Snack

Here's a favorite snack of my family for Fall. Combine Candy Corn and peanuts. It tastes just like a PayDay candy bar. Add M&M's for a chocolate twist.

Rainy Day in Memphis

It's a rainy day here in Memphis. I think I'll make Grammy Lou's Chicken Potpie for supper. I'll post the recipe later.

A couple of weeks ago, my yahoo email contact list was hacked and someone used it to send obscene emails "from me". Yahoo's customer service is non-existent. I spent 2 hours one morning trying to actually talk to someone and get some help. Did you know that they have no phone support? I finally had to close the account, so I've been working on getting my contacts into another email account. Not fun! There's light at the end of the tunnel though.

I started the day with a shiny sink. It was a joy to walk into the kitchen this morning. Thanks FlyLady.

Have a Great Day!

Daily Chaos Project

Hello! My husband had a work conference last week, so my daughters and I went to see my parents in Northwest Arkansas. We also went with our church to Tom's Farm yesterday for a hayride, bonfire with hotdogs and smores, and playtime with the kids. We also came home with pumpkins. We had a great time, but now we've got to get back into the swing of things. My main project today is get laundry caught up and the house back in order ~well, semi-order~.

That's my project, what's yours?

Have a Great Day!

Daily CHAOS Project

What a beautiful day to start October. A little bit of sun and a high of 81 deg. If the rest of Fall goes like the beginning, it’s going to be one of the best I’ve had here in Memphis. I’ve lived here for 20 + years and it’s one season that I long to be back in Michigan for. Cooler days and cool nights. I love the change in seasons.

Well, my bed’s made; I’ve started laundry, now it’s time to get back into my kitchen. My project for climbing out of CHAOS today is cleaning out the refrigerator. As my mom says, it’s time to clean it out when I run out of Tupperware containers to put my leftovers in. What’s your project for today?
