I am working on a book tentatively titled:Blended Family Stories. It will be an in depth look at the real life challenges and joys of successful blended families. If you would like to be part of my research I'd love to hear from you.Take my Blended Family survey

  • HOMEMADE CHICKEN POT PIE

    This is a great cold-winter-rainy-day recipe.

    Ingredients:
    Filling:
    1 small onion (I love to use shallots too.)
    Handful of mushroom, sliced
    2 cups cooked chicken
    1 10 oz. package of frozen mixed vegetables like peas and carrots.
    2 cans (10 3/4 oz. each) of condensed cream of chicken soup.
    Note:Can also use cream of mushroom and cream of celery soup.
    Sometimes I use three cans if I want my casserole to be creamier.
    1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

    Biscuit topping:
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    2 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1 egg
    3/4 cup milk
    1/3 cup vegetable oil

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. For filling, combine onion and mushrooms in large, microwave safe casserole dish. Cover; microwave on high 2 minutes or until softened, stirring halfway through cooking time. Add chicken, frozen vegetables, soup and pepper to onion mixture. Mix thoroughly and bake 10-15 minutes until bubbly around the edges. In the meantime, make the topping. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, combine egg, milk and oil. Add to dry ingredients and mix until just moistened. Remove casserole from oven. Drop tablespoons of topping evenly over chicken mixture. Bake 25-30 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Serve with cranberry sauce or apple sauce.
