chicken pot pie with a twist.

Southwestern Chicken Pot Pie

sometimes, on saturday mornings, i relax in bed and watch food network.  of course, sometimes i watch food network late at night, too.   i've decided that it doesn't matter what time of day you watch food network...you always get HUNGRY.  but, back to what i was saying about watching food network in bed on a saturday morning... an episode of the best thing i ever made was on television.  the focus of that particular day's epsiode?  chicken.  we eat a LOT of chicken.  i try my very best to vary the chicken dishes that i make...i'm constantly on the hunt for new, yummy chicken dishes.  yummy chicken dishes like sunny anderson's southwestern chicken pot pie.  not only is this recipe ridiculously delicious, but it's also super easy to make {yes, even the homemade crust is easy … [Read more...]

Sweet Potato Casserole

  thanksgiving is nearly upon us and, if you're anything like me, you're making a shopping list for your turkey day feast.  {i know, i know, the big day is only a couple of days away...}  this year, my husband and i are having a big dinner with his family, but we are ONLY responsible for the sides.  well, the sides and dessert, but still... WOO HOO!  we're not cooking the turkey this year! normally, i make it a point to make sure that my pantry is well-stocked and that my refrigerator has all of the necessary ingredients.  sometimes, however, i run out of a product or i just don't have enough of a certain ingredient.  fortunately, substituting an ingredient is not as daunting as it seems...especially if you have a Unilever Spread like Country Crock on hand.

Menu Monday

your eyes do not deceive you.  i'm actually participating in a meal planning link-up.  i don't know why it took until last week to start planning our weekly meals, but whatever.  the point is that now on sunday mornings i plan our menu for the week & i hit the grocery store that very same morning.  although i love shopping at trader joe's & the fresh market {and soon, whole foods will be on my list}, i recently rekindled my love-hate relationship with wal-mart.  honestly?  it's just easier to shop there early on a sunday morning because it's so close to the house. not that this is necessary information, but while i shop i use my cell phone calculator to keep track of my purchases.  i try to stick as close to $100 as i can.  $100 per week on groceries might seem steep to … [Read more...]

i seem to be out of blogging material lately.  no, actually, i've lost my mojo.  thank goodness for blog link ups with faithful blog friends to get my creative juices flowing.  they also help me keep y'all semi-updated random-style.  you know how much i love being random. so, for today's reading pleasure, i'm linking up with TWO blog friends.  no, make that FOUR because each link up is hosted by two bloggers. first up, i'm joining amber & neely for... it's okay... to be excited yet stressed about getting a free bathing suit from old navy.  my twinsie & i had the perfect suits picked out on tuesday night only to find out that our free coupon wasn't valid until...today.  whomp, whomp.  oh, you want a free bathing suit, too?  join crowdtap.  free suits are not … [Read more...]

first, i can't take credit for the recipe. i found it at rumbly in my tumbly thanks to ashley. second, any recipe that calls for THREE sticks of butter is bound to be good. can i get an amen, paula deen?? {i know, i know, she's got diabetes now.} third, you will promise not to hold me responsible when... a) you eat your first piece - covered in glaze - warm & fresh from the oven, b) you eat your second piece minutes later, and c) you wake up the next morning to find that the cake is gone.  it's THAT good, y'all. … [Read more...]
