Can you say "Chicken Pot Pie?"

Okay, I am pretty dang proud of myself right now. I had a inkling for chicken pot pie this week and so I decided rather that buying it...I can do it myself! And I did!! Can I get a Woop! Woop!

Now, making pot pie from scratch includes making the gravy. I was a little too impatient for "gradually" adding the liquid and ended up with some lumps. Oh well, it still tastes good. Men don't notice things like that right? I guess I will find out tonight. Other than that little mis-hap, everything went quite well. Now it's back to cleaning up the kitchen. Blah. I do not like the cleaning up task. I wish I had a little cooking helper that washed and cleaned up after me. I am a messy cooker.








I will admit I didn't do it all by myself, I had a good little helper by the name of Logan who wanted to get his little hands on the PIE! I gave up the control and let him actually roll out the pie crust. He really enjoyed helping mommy and I enjoyed watching him get to help.




Oh ya, you can't forget the best part of left over pie crust...sprinkling it with cinnamon and sugar and baking it. It was always a hit when I was a child...it seems my two little ones love it too!





Have a great day!
